[RE-wrenches] Array Mock-up Software

Thu Oct 26 17:44:58 EDT 2017

I totally agree, but the roof extents were previously very accurate using
the Add Location tool imagery from Google - close enough to make a 3D
mockup without external dimensioning tools. Now you can't "trace" the roof
to get accurate dimensions with the fuzzy imagery. Those dimensions need to
come from another source.
