I thought it a fair question. I make CAD or other drawing files for most
of the projects I do. I measure everything, including the differences in
elevation when mapping out the redesign of my back yard. It's a real
PITA. Thus if someone had done so for their MV it would come in handy
should they chose to share it.
Most CAD drawings which I see our engineers use were made AFTER the fact,
not prior. It's not difficult, but it does take a lot of time.
