Sure, but the level of detail really depend on the design phase: you simply do not need to have layers represented and correctly joined from the beginnig, so - at least here in italy - the design is always organized roughly in those steps:vanuan wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 10:31 pm At the very least, you should be able to produce standardized representations of reality. Those are IFC models and 2D drawings.
To produce 2D drawings, FreeCAD Arch currently uses section plane cuts. It means that wall joins would look exactly like the 3D geometry.
- preliminary design (no layers) you need to quickly change the layout, not much detail needed;
- final design (no layers) you still make many small modification of the layout;
- execution design (layers) the layout is less or more unchanged, but you detail everything. In this phase many times you just do not represent layers in the whole plans, but detail the joints and the other important parts in separated drawings. That's when you generally swear an yell to the automatic joining system. And makes you divide the wall into it's layers or, worse, draw each layer as a separated wall. Awful, believe me.
So we could take this into account to make something that changes according to which phase of the design you are: starting really simple, but being able to complexify things during the design process...
What do you think?
