Random waffle:
* Many (basically, all) arch plans stick to a grid system, generally 30cm (= 1 foot). So do virtually all building components and materials.
* A standard grid, be it metric or Imperial, for any of your arch models will help to copy / paste components from model A to model B. It will also simplify resizing some random element by snapping on the basis of the C3D grid.
* With some preparation you can switch in the course of a presentation between different images:
* Casement windows to sash windows? Click and click!
* Switch the brick bond to timber caldding? Click and click!
* Use clay roof tiles vs fibre cement sheets? Click and click!
* This may not be obvious at the beginning when you start out with just a few experiments. However, if you plan a viable business it is of great advantage to have a dynamic, flexible and economic “plug and play” library at your command. Whilst small at the start, this toolbox will grow with every project.
* C3D allows you to easily toggle off / on objects and materials in the browser. With minimal effort you can customise a building to individual wishes whilst the client looks on in amazement at your supreme skill
