    I am on the Design Review Board of the busiest City (permit wise) in the Phoenix area. We require shadows on every project presented: commercial or residential. The line weights are a big pare of that presentation as well. There is a noticeable difference in the quality of drawings presented between each project. Drawings that are well presented often get less scrutiny and those that look less professional leave us wondering if the effort was put forward to create a great product for our city. These are the kinds of drawings we love to see presented to us as we can tell the Architect took care in creating and presenting his project and therefore will finish it in the same manor.

    Thank you for your efforts and time in presenting your thoughts on this software. I love when new professionals come on board to help explain the shortcomings. It is new eyes that are needed. I sincerely hope that Chief Architect takes seriously all of your comments as I would welcome 'all' the requests/changes you describe.
