Amapi 3D has, in addition to the qualities described previously, the great advantage of being very fast to master. To master your new software even more quickly, we strongly advise you to proceed as follows:
¨ To have a trouble-free installation and to avoid possible mistakes, follow the instructions.
¨ Read the “Introduction to Amapi 3D” chapter very carefully. This introductory text was designed to give you the flavor of the software in a few short pages and to highlight the benefits that Amapi 3D can provide.
¨ Then you can begin the exercises in the tutorial. These exercises progressively increase in complexity. Repeat each exercise until you can go through each step of the model construction quickly and easily.
¨ Once you are familiar with the software, you will be able to create models on your own and will only need to refer to the User Manual from time to time. This manual explains each feature clearly. If you follow this learning scheme thoroughly, reading the entire User Manual will be unnecessary. You will already know what you can expect from Amapi 3D and will only need to read the relevant part of the manual.
¨ If you run into difficulty using a particular tool, remember: Amapi 3D provides an exercise for each of its tools using supplied models. This type of exercise will help you fully understand each tool.You will come across many pictograms throughout this documentation. Their usefulness will quickly become apparent:
¨ They can be quickly spotted on the page.
¨ You are already familiar with most of the pictograms – it will be easy, almost effortless, for you to learn their meaning.
