also important (maybe included under details) all the electrical outlets, switches, lights, plumbing, hvac, radiators, etc. these are the things which can make or break an update/renovation budget...

You give some good tips in the video:
- Use guidelines. Cannot say how many times i have drawn rectangles and they did not come out the way I wanted them to. Drawing the guidelines first eleminates many potential problems later in the process
- Set groups and/or components early in the process rather than going back later in the practice fees and trying to make portions and trying to set them.
- Again, set tags early in the process.
In particular, these tips are great for beginners. That are also good reminders for experienced users.
