This way I can shoot a construction line across a section and see if my points are lining up, or I can use it for reference on stretches etc.
Also, we make use of a lot of windowed details, for instance a detail elevation of a panel joint will come directly off the elevation using annotative dims. This way you are actually showing what is there and it reduces the chance that a detail will fail to update.
