Design Layer Viewports need to be optimized for a base set of commands for architectural usage.
1. Most importantly, there needs to be an opacity slider somewhere for each DLVP so that underlaying reference drawings do not compete with my overlay components (framing drawings, etc.).
2. Beyond a single click on the OIP to turn off wall components, I believe we need a single click to turn walls to dashed lines. This would further aid in readability. The current option of dashing wall lines is too complex and most people will not attempt to take their organizing to such a level. If a tool can't be easily employed, it is not really a tool.
3. I can put windows and doors into a "hide" class but when my underlay reference layer shows the newly empty openings, there are no end caps on the wall openings. We need a "Framed Opening" option whereby these openings heal. I want my openings showing an end cap so that I can add in my own header and column symbols, my own shear wall column and strap indicators.
Design Layer Viewports are extremely useful but need to be continued in their evolution--something I'm sure NNA is working on.
