The project was the remodeling of an old school into apartment and offices. A parking garage was created in the basement.
          It was found that placing a trench drain before the garage door caused many cars to bottom out.
          This program runs in Mozilla/Firefox, but apparently not in Internet Explorer. Much of the output is script commands for IntellaCAD (an AutoCAD clone), which was used to produce the images shown here.
        It should be noted that this program was developed in a hurry to solve a specific problem.
