			<![CDATA[I'm not sure how to word this request properly as I cannot mention trade names etc, but I will do my best. The computer aided design package that most designers use has a few associated products / add-ons and the like. One of them is used for designing timber framed buildings, with features to make this easier (tools for drawing panels, floor cassettes etc). After some time working independantly in the traditional build sector I have accepted a position as a designer of timber frame buildings, and I use this package. I haven't been properly trained in this software, it is quite easy and instinctive, but there are still a lot of things that I haven't worked out as of yet, and the literature provided isn't very helpful. I have been assured that I will be placed on a 5wk user programme sometime down the line, but I want to learn as much as possible before then. Is there anywhere on the 'net where I can find tutorials / guidance? I have searched a few times but so far I haven't been successful. Feel free to message me for specifics if you are unsure of the design package that I'm using, thanks.]]>
