Goal: To make the CM/CR process better
In no particular order:
1. Enable Pan/Zoom/Rotate and section box in 3D view during Coordination Review and Copy Monitor modes. Currently only zoom works.
2. Allow cross-category copy/monitor and monitor. There is precedent - columns vs structural columns. What about Roof vs Floor, Ramp vs Floor.
3. Allow shafts to be Copy/Monitored separately rather than simply as Tag-Along elements with a floor this would actually simply things (shaft sketch changed, shaft extents changed, shaft deleted)
4. Allow for a new monitored "rule" (for instance: walls that have name contains "Concrete") - when a new element is created that meets this rule, flag the user during Coordination Review and present the option to Copy Monitor the element
5. Multi-Segment Grids (previously mentioned) currently don't CM
6. Sloped Columns currently don't CM
7. Floors that are below their reference level in the linked file (negative offset) when CM'd result in a positive offset from the level below. This is an error in that if the level below is moved, the floor elevation that results is wrong. The CM should pick up the correct reference level.
8. Allow for mapping of door/windows for wall openings rather than creating a generic "opening" that matches the bounding box of the door/window family. It is only correct about 50% of the time - thus we cannot ever trust it
9. Remove the split columns at level option and replace with split columns at intersecting floors. Matches real world behavior.
10. Expose the Guid of the Monitored element in the linked file to the API.
