So I downloaded and skimmed through collada-spec 1.5;
In chapter 9 the geometry primitives are described and they include 
cubes, spheres
and such. But I never saw any layers or dimensions mentioned.
The intro of the spec mentions CAD though - probably as a transfer format
DCC <-> CAD, not sure about CAD <-> CAD.
