2012 has storeys, or stories as you americans call them (those are for bedtime here). In the words of Christiaan...storeys are one less level of abstraction in the march from CAD to BIM.
Next year's request for less abstraction: Building Materials
We currently don't have materials, we have all purpose classes AND fills AND textures AND wall component materials.
I want a base set of building materials right there when I open VW - brick, block (cmu), wood, plaster, glass, etc etc. These are auto-classing like PIOs, they come with predefined fills and textures, and they even come with default data properties like density and R values.
I want the ability to edit these, duplicate them, and to make my own too. Of course.
I want these materials to be right there when I need them..right there in the Create Wall Style dialog, right there in the New Class dialog.
I want every view - cut section, elevation, iso, rendered perspective to have an inherent default appearance for these materials.
