And the reason that could be problematic is, when symbolic geometry comes into play, like, for example, looking at that door, you can see that it's not showing the swing direction. Which, a little further down, you can see there is actually a swing angle there. But then you can also see, by these skewed dimensions and filled region here, what the other problem is. That whatever the plane of the section is, that's the plane that…
