Layer by layer

Well then: today I must upgrade the pre-construction drawing to a working drawing in ArchiCAD.

What's wrong with the dimensioning? There's a difference between the total length and the sum of all sections' lengths. Aren't the walls rectangular?

Zoom in... well, they are rectangular. OH NO! The walls' elements don't touch each other. This is why the dimensioning picks different corners.

One cannot work with such faulty plans. I'll have to correct these before continuing!

Hide all layers except the one for the building's shell... What's wrong? why doesn't it work?

Shell construc- tion, interior work, furnishing, dimensioning, tagging.. It is all in one single layer! Throughout all 5 stories! What a mess!

This can't be true. This will take days to correct... and our deadlines are very challenging anyway.

Oh, are you working late? Here's a cup of coffe and a piece of Blackforest cake for you.

Unfortunately yes... thank you very much. At least one more person in this office appreciates the principle of layering.
