As an illustrator I think 3D to work 2D. The build is already in my thought process.
I was refering to 3 dimensional X_Y_Z guidlines crossing in the middle for the Beta. One that rotates along when rotating around your project. It gives a nice visual reference point to align different object within the building structure. Something that one can view or hide.
I forget who showed this work around. However, the idea is to create 2 or so boxes next to your project to provide guides to work with while creating our projects. It does help considerably.
