GDL Code: HOTPOLY2, or better, a HOTness directive to make subsequent geometry detectable:
HOT2 ON
[Shapes from here on will all have detectable edges]
HOT2 OFF
[back to normal]

GDL Code: Status codes for 3-point arcs. 5100: start point; 5200: middle point; 5300: end point
E.g.:
archHgt = 12"
0, 0, 15,
A, 0, 15,
A, B - archHgt, 5179,
A/2, B, 5279,
0, B - archHgt, 5315,
0, 0, -1

Straighten out North. A true (geographic) north along with a project north, usually top of page but customizable. Allow us to avoid “Southeast Elevation” etc.

Surfaces: Intelligently handle directional textures such as wood grain. A single orientation (no more horizontal/vertical) with a natural direction based on element type, so that beams and columns can clean up with the right grain.
