Tutorial 74 - Insulated Headers (6:28 min.)
If you have installed a new version of SketchUp and wish to migrate the Medeek extensions to the new installation of SketchUp, you can either use the migration tool provided by SketchUp (SU 2025 or later) or simply install the extensions within the new version of SketchUp using the Extension Manager. Using either method will not automatically transfer your custom presets and materials from one installation to the next. In order to transfer your custom settings please visit the detailed upgrade instructions here.
Your products are the best and keep getting better. Thanks for all the updates this year. Can’t wait to what improvements will see in 2026.
Version 4.1.5 - 11.29.2025
- Enabled Green, Pink and Grey options for XPS headers and SIP wall panels.
- Added an option in the door draw and edit menus to change the door hardware material/color: None, Brass, Nickel, Bronze, Black, Copper, Gold.
- Updated the file/component loading method for door hardware and shearwall holdowns to increase plugin performance.
This is very helpful. Thank You. ![]()
Version 4.1.6 - 11.30.2025
- Updated the context menus for walls with an “Edit Opening…” option if the selected (right click) wall contains a door, window or garage door.
- Added “Arial Bold” as a font within the Annotation Formatting section of the General tab of the Global Settings.
- Fixed a bug with Single and Double Hung QHQ windows.
- Added a QHQ Double Hung window to the window draw and edit menus.
This is a great addition. I find that the less I have to hut for menus, tool bars or buttons, the more efficient workflows become. THANK YOU.
Version 4.1.7 - 12.05.2025
- Enabled XPS (blue, green, pink and grey), ISO, EPS, GPS, and PU foam insulation within the wall sheathing options.
The snippet above shows how I am using the wall layers to create a nominal 6” SIP wall panel.
With the wall sheathing turned off, and using a custom insulation that looks like EPS that is 8’ tall the snippet above is created.
I need to figure out how to make the custom insulation look like is of varying lengths. The length of the EPS will vary by the EPS block molder supplying EPS to the SIP manufacturer. I think it’s a matter of playing with the horizontal and vertical scales on the texture but ![]()

A bit of a long standing issue with the automatic blocking/noggin for walls:
Notice how the blocking is not present over the windows and doors. The current algorithm just avoids the door and windows so as not to put the blocking through them but it is not smart enough to insert the blocking above or below. I guess I need to revisit the algorithm and see if I can make it more robust.
