Can we drop 2D CAD drafting

Image
I had a conversation with several people recently re the way we draw, and as we progress through the 3D path, would it be possible to drop 2D CAD drafting. I must admit, 90% of my work is still 2D, but I see the benefits of drawing in 3D, so perhaps the next big project will be the one I turn a corner with, and reduce the %. But, yes it's that word again, But, even when I draw in 3D, the sections created require I draw in 2D, simply because the internal portions of any wall style is void of anything. So here is my thoughts on getting the detail at least partially drawn, and as I use Vectorworks primarily, that what I will talk about here. First lets look at the easiest to sort, brick coursing , we all use bricks, and their size varies from country to country, but their size is known, and the base point or the point at which coursing begins is also known. I see two alternatives, use Marionette to add coursing to any section, from the base point,  Have the wall style...
