Lecture: The drawing is the building
Kwame Mensah on generating drawing sets that stay true to the model.

The point is not speed. When the drawing set and the renderings come from the same geometry, they cannot disagree.
Our viewer for drawings on this website is built the same way, with every scale bar calculated from the sheet.
