In the natural world it is extremely rare for a piece of wood to have two heart centers - so why does the VW wood trim PIO show "S" shaped grain patterns? In all conventional architectural details, the grain is shown as roughly concentric curving lines. Could this tool be revised to use the traditional graphics? If nicely done, this would truly be a time-saving tool, but as it is currently designed, the tool is unusable if you care at all about the authority of your drawings.
This raises in my mind a question of software engineering process - how does it occur that something is programmed contrary to reality and universal drafting convention?
