2. Choose to calculate the stairs by:

3. Then chose if to calculate by:

Improved WallCutter workflow
Working with copies
You can now edit wall cutters inside any copy of a component.
For example, when modeling a multistory building, make changes to a wall cutter component inside any copy, and everything will work as expected.
Wallcutter now works with Groups!
You can now place wall cutter components onto walls that are in groups too (not just in components).
Most importantly. there are NO MORE SCARY WARNINGS! 
WalCutter wotks with:
Critical Fix for WallCutter
Fixed a critical bug that could cause all wallcutter openings to break under specific circumstances - Update your FlexTools now!
More about this in the release notes for the FlexTools Extension.
Eqaully spaced fence posts
Added a new posts distribution so you can now space posts evenly while settings the maximum space between them.
Special thanks to Jacob Kirk from Design-Build-Live for suggesting this addition.
Multiple Fixed Windows with Mullions

You can now set the number of window units with vertical mullions in between them for the Fixed window too.
In case you missed it, this option was also added to the Single Casement, Double Casement, Double Hung and Hopper/Awning windows in the previous update.

Updated Door & Glass Door
Updated options for Door and Glass Door - click to enlarge
The Door and Glass Door options have been rearranged and updated for easier use.
Some of the terminology has also been updated - what used to be the ‘Sill’ is now the ‘Threshold’ and what used to be the ‘Frame Bottom’ is now replaced by a ‘Sill’ component which is similar to the sills in all of the other windows and doors.
Special thanks to Mitch McQuoid for pointing out the discrepancies.
