If we''re going to produce a drawing we''ll need one unless we''ve arrived at the day when a model is the only deliverable which, unless I''ve become Rip van Winkle and woke up twenty odd years in the future, isn''t the norm yet. A polyline is often used for this in AutoCAD. One recurring theme is a thick boundary line.

ArchiCAD just sounds like a snobbier (or more obscure) version of AutoCAD. But while I’m happy to drive a second-hand Jap-car to roll into work, I hate waiting for a Joe-average model to even open on my computer when using Revit. Revit is better, even if people often mispronounce it. Hell, even Vectorworks rolls better of the tongue.
