      <description>&lt;P&gt;Nice one Steve,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It would also be nice if the boards' connections would show as well, in both directions if possible.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This would confirm the connections between boards and could be adjusted to look nice on the page.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ideally it would work in either direction - model &amp;gt; SLD, SLD &amp;gt; model&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I would love to see this in Core Revit as well. Basically the ability to put in a Detail Item on a Drafting View and create and declare the detail item is a representation of the modeled item, and can be tagged with all the parameters of the modeled item.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I believe the Rushforth add-in can do this, but from what I remember it was a little cumbersome and would cost several thousand dollars a year for a company like mine; that being said, it's a well written add-in with other useful tools as well (shared parameter grouping and management being the one I used).&lt;/P&gt;</description>
