CRITICAL BUG FIX!

Version 3.5.2 - 05.30.2024

  • Enabled ceiling insulation for floor trusses: Batt, Blown-in.
  • Enabled ceiling insulation for I-Joist and Lumber floors: Batt, Blown-in.
  • Fixed a bug with ceiling gypsum for inset floors (I-joist and Lumber).
  • Fixed a minor bug with joist hangers for common lumber sizes for inset floors.




Honestly I didn’t want to spend too much time updating this module since the new Floor plugin will supersede it, however since I do intend on retaining it within the Truss plugin for the foreseeable future, I thought it best to bring it up to speed with the other truss assemblies, and add the insulation option.

Some of these updates seem small now and very incremental however they all take time and energy and they usually involve fairly tedious updates to the attribute library code and the HTML menus.

The Truss plugin overall probably still has the most work that needs to be done of all the plugins. Compared to the Wall plugin this plugin has many partially finished tools and features and still certain trusses that are missing advanced options. The work will go on.

Version 3.5.3 - 06.09.2024

  • Enabled a feature to selectively remove specific trusses from floor truss assemblies.
  • Enabled a feature to selectively remove specific joists from I-joist and lumber floor assemblies.


This update is inline with a previous update for common and attic trusses and also per customer request. There are situations where one would want to remove certain floor joists for larger custom beams or other architectural elements in the design. Also note that one can already use the SUBTRACT feature to cut holes in the floors as needed in addition to this new feature.

As always a huge thank-you to everyone who provides me feedback and suggestions as your ideas and even criticism drive the development and allow me to polish this rough stone into a usable product.

The new Rafter Roof menu should be a bit more visual and intuitive for selecting the appropriate roof type:
