I’m not a designer. I can't look at Blueprints and go “oh yes!” They don't pop off the page for me. So, I think what was really great was to have the video rendering sent to us and be able to walk the hallway, see the corners and then make tweaks. We could say, “Okay that doesn't work,” or “That doesn't doesn't look right, let’s change it.”
