Remember to always use some the basic tools during the training

test
• Always use shortcut to select the tools
• Right Angle Tool (F) – use this all the time is possible. This is the main too used in drawing building. This will enable you to draw
Buildings Very Straight
• Square tool (E) – They will enable you to draw Squares quickly. Use this on simple buildings
• Draw tool (S) – This will enable you to draw buildings on a freestyle mode. This should only be used on angles that are not
straight
• Repair tools (X) / (Z) tool – X for Right angle. Z for free style repair. This will make you fix buildings much quicker.
• Arc tool (G) – This is the tools use to draw Circles.
• Trace tool (H) – This will be frequently used on drawing multilayers buildings. This will enable you draw parallel layers then make
sure your draw correct 3D structures.
• Define/copy sidewall direction (3) – This is used when you draw building that has visible sidewalls.
• Paste sidewall direction (6) – This is used to paste the copied vector from other buildings.
• Brother way – This is the best way to draw multilayered buildings. Essentially you need to use Trace tool (H) . This tool will make
all you drawing have straight footprint.
• Drag tool (W)– Your main navigation tool. This will enable you to drag through the image. This is used all the time to move from
grid to grid.
• Toggle tool (R). This will turn you SHP on and off. Very useful in drawing buildings to see the actual look of the building.
• Cut tool (T) – This will enable you to Cut(T) on feature. VeryClick
