Of all the people using the plans, who is it that would prefer to have center to center dimensions for the walls?I really wanted to talk about the difference between how AC designates faces of walls and faces of beams, rather than debate personal preferences of wall dimensioning. Without going into the many reasons for doing what we do, or the years of experience, internal wrangling and external review supporting them, commercial constructors (several trades) led us to this method.

Somewhere in here, I think Karl Ottenstein recommended against using reference lines centered in walls because the computer has a hard time figuring out which face is the reference line face.

@ Karl -
I know how to show wall vectors and determine which side is left and which is right. What I don't know is how to know which the computer picks to list as the Ref. Line side which is the distinction I think it makes for walls when listing face areas (as opposed to a R/L distinction).

@ Steve - P.S., Am not sure what is up with the image you attached to your last answer here. I am seeing in as a solid black rectangle on my portable (Safari 4.1.3, Mac OS 10.4.11).
