Clean-up Walls(and other forms) Through References
In a federated model, if I have 2 walls in separate files, it can be very difficult to clean up walls that are interacting between different models. We need to allow the Connect Wall tool (specifically connect as L Parallel and Connect Forms as L ...
It would be good to include this option. Its very rare that all sides of the space or room will have the same wall type. The user ends up having to delete or mod most of the walls or even worse not using the tool at all. With this option, the OBD ...
