1- can falls be expressed in say 1:40 (1 in 40) or 1:30.5 (1 in 39.5574) rounded down or up to 1 in 39.6 to the nearest decimal unit? Archicad has them in degrees and percentages. Falls could be between two chosen points on a mesh to give an approximate cross fall or precise over two given points. This could be useful in both design and planning stages, and further stages along the build following later amendments. Could this be added to the measure tool to (giving with a click on one point on a mesh to another point a cross fall in percentage, degrees and please 1 in 40, 1 in 30 or 1 in 60 etc).
2-With large buildings doors and windows numbers that require renumbering to be sensible location on drawings in either a clockwise or counter clockwise fashion around the drawing can be time consuming at early Tender stages, as can be furniture numbers for specific furniture layouts? Can this be done by selecting the doors and numbers, drawing a path start and finish on screen and adding a starting character such as 'W', 'D', 'W-00..' or 'W-100' then W-101, etc (for 1st floor) user specific? I know python is an alternative but what about this as an add on?
3a-When breaking out or demolishing part walls traditionally on the board or 2D CAD there is a localised hatch at the breakout point not the whole wall. Can this be a feature added?
3b-Often at Tender stage contractors require all 'black & white hatch'. Could a standard be added to the Graphisoft template in renovation filters through graphic overrides and pen colours for all renovation states out of the box? This is often rush process. So companies should have this as a 'Template' which individual companies set up every year on a new release available to all staff, out of the box graphic override for sole practitioners or perhaps a talk on graphisoft learn and community channel to assist? Coloured plans are expensive and contractors do not want to pay the additional cost of at least twice the printing. Some contractors just want PDFs in a traditional format. BIMx is great and contractors love this once they start using it. Some domestic clients with house extensions just want black and white PDFs, and want it tomorrow or the end of the day, or all the coloured drawings in B+W. This is a time management issue/office planning but could be easier. Colour is great and fantastic at design, planning and early stages but B+W is needed from Tender stages onwards.
4-Text in lines like SW or FW can be added using 2D lines but years ago they were available as text like for black and white drawings, and fire drawings in black and white again can have 1hr or 2hr text in 2D lines, custom line types or a custom label. Drainage runs to a local manhole are often 2D lines with no data so 2D text is added such as FW or SW. Is this something anyone would want 2D text back in lines?
