Mara clicked the file. Keyplan 3D opened with its familiar chime—too cheerful for 11 p.m. on a Tuesday. The second floor materialized on screen: a perfect wireframe ghost of what should have been. She spun the model, layer by layer. Subfloor. Joists. Wall framing. Roof trusses. Everything green-lit in the software’s structural analysis. No warnings. No errors. keyplan 3d second floor
