Below are some suggestions that I gathered during the four sessions today.
-
Read the Assignment – Not just the Tutorial
-
The assignment has specific requirements
-
The tutorial actually covers more material than is required for the assignment.
-
Save Early, Save Often
- Several people lost most of the work because they hadn’t saved
-
Don’t be afraid to start over
-
We all make mistakes when starting. It’s often easiest to just do it again
-
Save to the desktop
- You can then copy the file to a flash drive or email it home.
-
When drawing a floor (or roof)
-
Be sure the sketch is totally “closed”
-
Click on the green checkmark
-
Constrain the wall top to the 2nd Level
-
It’s best to do so when drawing your first wall element. Thereafter all walls will be so constrained.
-
Print-to-PDF depends on having Adobe Acrobat
-
It creates a “printer” that produces a file instead of a physical page.
-
All the machines in the CadLab have Acrobat
-
There are free substitutes available that you can install on your own machine
-
Put a dimension on your longest wall
-
That will help the graders and ensure you meet that requirement.
-
The dimension tool is the top mini-ribbon
