I'd say the old won there too ^. Stark contrast indeed.

I often worked on projects that needed a hundred or so purpose-made doors, which meant sorting out a whole bunch of types, dimensions, jamb details etc.[/IMG]

That's one of almost 1000 designs in the 13 years I've been doing these, but they're all very similar. There isn't much variation in the doors/windows too, so the schedule isn't riddled with a lot of details like most of them are. I worked for a couple arch firms, and it was a bit insane in comparison.

To give you a better idea of what they are...

They look great. I especially liked the first photo and the two pics demonstrating a practice exercise with escape ladder. You must feel very proud to have masterminded their construction, Plankton, and you clearly create a real niche for yourself if you designed 1000 of them.

I wish I'd created a niche for myself, telling architects how to design new buildings adjacent to old buildings. I could've flown to this city, for instance, to advise against this building, which seems to be playing a cruel joke on the older building underneath:-

We just finished a LiDAR scan of a firehouse on campus they are planning to repurpose into a conference center. I'm modeling it now in Cyclone. You got some nice details in there, what program did you say you use?

Just plain AutoCad 2017 (v.21).

I just updated to AutoCad 2019 and it comes with AutoDesk ReCap and ReCap Photo, which has been around for a few years now. I've been living under a rock. Really cool ****. Most of the designs I do are from the ground up, but I really wanna play with this now and see what the benefits/limitations would be.
