I know the feeling Andy :) I'm self educated over the years in AutoCad Point, Bentley Architecture, ADT, VW and ArchiCAD (in that order), the trick is to understand how the program designer(s) think, once you find this red line things get easier....…

Lee, Your experience seems to mirror my own in practically all respects. Like yourself, I started out with a drawing board and computer-wise, I've been using the 2D CAD approach more or less exclusively for much of my career to date. Now that I have…
