Just to expand on that ... I've added a few boundaries and buildings using both 
editors. On P2 I can draw a line around an area then add lines to create the 
building detail. In Id I can't get it to recognise the new closed line as an 
area? And I can't see how to make the building a house or a garage ... so I 
dropped back to P2 to complete that detail!
