Hi Jerry,

1) I'd rename the TopPackage package to the name of your company of whatever
you find is suitable. A Visio package corresponds to a .NET namespace once
you generate the code.
2) Depending on the size of your solution, I'd create all classes in the
same model. It's the component and deployment diagrams that's later used for
where the classes/components go when deployed.

You don't mention what type of diagrams you're using so I'm assuming you go
straight for class/static structure diagrams?

I have a feeling you might have more questions based on this feedback, so
please fire away...
