  2. Using the setup wizard, create a space according to the Design details below.

  4. Save when complete.

  5. Share with a sales manager or a veteran designer for feedback.

NEW SKILLS USED

EXERCISE 5-2 Create User Templates

Note

If you have not yet learned about Components and Parts, refrain from completing this exercise until that skill has been learned.


Applying what was learned in this section, create at least one user template. This may be a template that the may be used a lot in designs but isn't currently available in the template library. Complete this task by either:

  • Adding parts to an empty empty components

  • Editing parts on an existing template

An example may be a wall-mounted component with a hamper or XL basket on bottom and shelving above. The possibilities are endless!

Ask a manager for suggestions on a naming convention for these new templates to make them consistent and easy to find.
