It's the little invisible line and reference plane we have to align the door 4 inches from a wall.

We generally give control of certain elements to our consultants. Grid lines, for example are Structural's responsibility. We erase our schematic grids and CM the grids in the Struct Model when it comes back. Struct is likely to add other grids but unless they are major ones, we generally don't need to monitor them. We do the same thing with slabs and slab openings. Arch uses finish floors or model lines on the floor to designate slab opening locations and sizes. Then Struct CMs those elements to make sure their openings match. It's a cool tool, but it can slow us down if used too extensively.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
