I didn't know many prefers it that way. I always place the entrance on top. So they will start from top to bottom, just like reading.. Thanks again! Really appreciate it!

Does it always mean that the arrow pointing to that side means going up? or going down? Or anything will do? How should we actually draw arrows for clear drawing convention?
