Support for AutoCAD 2020 starts today!

As always, when a new version of a supported product is released, only General support is added first. Adaptation of all functions will be performed in the next few days

Support for Revit 2020 starts today!

At the time of creation of this news, only General support has been added – connection to Revit. In the near future will be adapted and added the appropriate version of all functions

It happened! Today I received a certificate of state registration of the ModPlus program!

Two months of paperwork and here I have a full set of all required documents, certificates and other things. And now i can safely continue to develop the best and most unique plugins! Hurray!

The long-awaited update of the function Walls Reinforcement! Version 2.0.0.0

Not all our plans are implemented in this version - there is still a large wish list from the users of the function - but today there is an update, which is simply necessary, since the update contains fixes for many small bugs. However, in addition to fixes, the update contains new features. The most important innovation is the ability to create reinforcement from base plates!

I have demonstrated this novelty and several other features in the video:

But almost complete (some minor fixes, I do not indicate) changes:

• Added the ability to create reinforcement joints (6 types) from base plates located directly under the walls to be processed
• The list of diameters of reinforcing bars is changed according to GOST 34028-2016
• Fixed a bug due to which it was not possible to update the default reinforcement settings
• Changed the way of specifying the binding of rods of vertical reinforcement of walls from the drop-down list to the input field of multiples of 1 mm
• Added display of information about the cover of the main reinforcement of walls, taking into account the entered data
• Added the ability to not close the function window after creating reinforcement
• Fixed a bug due to which previously created stirrups were not removed when re-reinforcing
• When creating stirrups, the intersections are not taken into account, unless the "Reinforcement of intersections" checkbox is not checked
• Added the ability to reset the default reinforcement settings to the values included in the function
• Added option for processing the additional step of vertical reinforcement of walls - to shift to both edges of the wall
• Fixed bug of function hanging when modeling stirrups with a step of less than 400 mm
• Fixed loading of reinforcement diameters from saved reinforcement settings files in case the reinforcement bar types are not yet created in the document
• Fixed incorrect calculation of the length of the part in T-shaped intersections with right angles

One of the most common questions when working with the Walls Reinforcement function is something like this: "Why after the plugin does not work to edit the shape of the rebar? In this case, the document has already the shape of the rebar, but the plugin has created a new non-editable". It's time to look into this matter.
