GUID - Globally Unique Identifier
Globally Unique Identifiers, or GUIDs for short, are used in BIM technology to uniquely identify objects and attributes.More information about GUIDs on Wikipedia
Ramp
Ramps are sloped structures used for vertical access. Depending on the construction type and geometry, modeling ramps can be quite challenging. For straight ramps, most programs...
