Thank you, Mike! That looks like a very useful tool!

Many of these tools and features fall under the umbrella of annotating and conveying visual data about the 3d environment rather than a 2d sheet. I can see the benefits of this as well as some difficulties, clutter being one serious one.

To be automated every significant datum/length/inclination/radius ... should be available. Perhaps even weight, cost, Uvalue, luminosity. Perhaps perhaps even deflection, % load capacity, carbon footprint, heatloss, headloss...

I think the key to making this all work is twofold:

1) assembling and validating and affixing the data

2.1) designing an intuitive way to expose the data that the user needs when the user needs it - and

2.2)the option to make it stick (either in the model or exported to another format eg a component shop drawing or a line item on a purchase order, a 3d snapshot for a sound engineer etc.

large asks but VW is built on greatness
