Hi Blake, hi all (my first post here). I have 2 options for your doubt:
1. By selecting 2 nodes every box you're going to draw will be parallel. Same effect as selecting another box. The difference is that the 2 nodes could be of any geometry, i.e. a road's pipe with a particular angle that you want to follow (good for drawing buildings parallel to a street). 2. Maybe he was referring to another way of drawing complex buildings: by adding 2 nodes on a box side, you can extrude the portion with the 'Create area shortcut' tool. This way you don't have to select and merge overlapping boxes at the end. Hope I got it right.
