You must have an older version. Medeeks current floor Plugin has been in development for several years and they currently do not have one.
Kind of worthless without a matching floor Plugin.

I use Medeek for floor trusses and break the areas. The floor truss suppliers provide the final design.

The latest version of the Truss plugin still includes the Floor Truss/Joist module.

It includes the following floor types:

  • Floor Trusses (Mod Warren)
  • Sawn Lumber (2x4, 2x6, 2x8, 2x10, 2x12)
  • I-Joists

The following industry standard I-Joists are also built into the Truss plugin:

  • TJI (Weyerhaeuser)
  • BCI (Boise Cascade)
  • LPI (Louisiana Pacific → Pacific Woodtech)
  • Red-I Floor (RedBuilt)
  • PKI (PinkWood)

I plan on keeping the floor module (in its existing state) active in the Truss plugin for those who only want to purchase the Truss plugin and do not require the more elaborate pending Floor plugin.
