I didn't time myself. I just got familiar resolving the problem and using the silly program.
Please comments. Testing next Friday,...last day of the Version 4.0
question: Is it valid to overlap the plaza with the "entry pad" of the restaurant or tower? Dorf's video shows it that way. I always avoided it.

If you rotate the restaurant 180, the service drive would be a LOT shorter. "minimize paving" is a program requirement.
Winter wind protection for the PP is missing 50%.
The walk to the restaurant entry could have been a LOT shorter by coming off the east end of the PP.
Reduce the amount of the PP shaded by the OT.
The walk going to the HCP parking is basically redundant...running along the edge of the PP.
