Very much like the United States indeed, with strange concentrations around the Mid-West. So the shape is generated by the mouse movements, which are generated (in some translation) by the shape of the cupboard (presumably; am assuming this wasn’t the cupboard as it exists in Excel or somesuch i.e. a list of materials and costs etc). How could you generate the shape of a cupboard (or something) i.e. going the other direction?!?
Actually closer to excel than you would think. Given the way archicad works, the cupboard is drawn initially through data entry into dialog boxes. So much of the activity you see in the centre of the image is selecting from various drop down menus and entering dimensions. Notation and additional line work then drawn over the top.
The activity down the right hand side of the image is moving between preset views and layout sheets.
