Before I proceed much further with the documents module, specifically with generating scenes for floor plans (and associated auto-dimensioning) I really need to put the project module into place. This new module will include a tool for assigning project meta data to a model (eg. customer, address, designer/architect, engineer, project title etc...). Even more importantly this module will include the levels tool which will allow the user to configure various levels/stories for a project.
In order to properly organize a model the wall panels really should be assigned to a specific level. Then automating certain tasks will become much easier and logical.
This module will also include a tool/interface for entering in site criteria (engineering!) for the specific job: Ground snow load, Seismic Data, Basic Wind Speed, Frost line Depth, Soil bearing capacity etc... Eventually this data will then be utilized by the engineering module to automatically run lateral and vertical calcs on the architectural -> structural model.
