Odd. Must have been different for the UK? (Just checked my old Rapidographs to be sure, and my old Staedtlers are the same) Or maybe the colours changed - I haven't bought any pens since about 1986.
Most offices make up their own colour tables, but I've found that many started out by using the Rotring pen colours back in the 80s and have stuck with it (me included), so 0.18 = red, 0.25 = white/black and so on.
I've always used dashed lines, with additional annotation if a window opens in, which is rare for us. For fixed panes we use "F" and "T" for toughened.
An odd thing has happened. We're being offered Allplan for less than VWA2009. What are Nemetschek up to?
Bob, Revit had built in Accurender pretty much from day 1.
Yep. Drives me up the wall having to do that. After all, this is supposed to be an architectural program. It is possible to produce what you need with Windoor, but even that's no substitute for a properly functional tool.
Just one of life's little mysteries, I'm afraid.
The answer is, you can't. Neither can you import RPCs, which Lightworks also supports. If the answer is cost, I wouldn't mind paying a little more for this capability.
Curtain wall. It's not much use. Windoor is essential if you want to create anything approaching a curtain wall. This was wishlisted not long ago.

Shaun, do you mean you want an invisible object that still casts shadows, as you can in 3D studio? I don't understand how you can cast shadows on to an invisible object.
