With the tutorial you can practice modeling a building using step-by-step examples. Use the screen resolution 1280x1024 at the minimum for viewing the exercises.
Exercises
Do the exercises in the order given in the table of contents. The exercises include designing a two-storey house step-by-step. The structural details of the example building may not fulfill your local building regulations. However, the steps of the design process will be the same regardless of the structures.
The view in your
working windows may not be exactly the same as in the figures of
the tutorial. Part of the lines and hatches have been removed from
the example figures to simplify the graphics.
Note: some exercise
pages have scrollbars.
