After the initial training, make sure that you continue to get practice in the program. There are many ways to incorporate CAD into the remaining weeks of new designer training and beyond. Talk to your local trainer or manager for additional curriculum, exercises and activities, and any other suggestions for continued learning.
Here are some suggestions:
- Attend the live Advanced Product + CAD training sessions or work with a manager to cover more advanced topics such as:
- Sect 09. Dead & Blind Corner Cabinets
- Sect 09. Sliding Doors and Sliding Door Mullions
- Sect 09. LED Lighting
- Sect 09. Peninsulas (Closet and Desk Peninsulas)
- Sect 09. Island or Peninsula Bench
- Sec 11. Lateral Collection
- Sect 11. Virtuoso and Mix Virtuoso & Classic Components
- Sect 11. Paxton & Paxton Templates
- Sect 11. The Everyday System™
- Sect 11. PRACTICE EXERCISES (coming soon, ask manager for local Collections training opportunities)
- Complete the Design Theory modules on CC360. User may need to be logged into CC360 to access.
- Sit in on design reviews with a local plan reviewer.
- Perform several ride-alongs with veteran designers, at the discretion of the customer.
- Re-create multiple spaces from either the showroom, marketing, website, and DAM. Try to keep this limited to closets, pantries, or simple office/media designs until comfortable with more complex design.
- Continuously practice measuring and drawing both “regular” and “unusual” obstructions found at home, showrooms, shops, previous designs, or mock scenarios provided by a manager.
- Find ways to incorporate CAD exercises or practice into other areas of training, such as inventory and sales.
- Find CAD plans that may have simple errors or bad design and identify the issues. Can grow increasingly more complex.
- As users become more proficient, begin introducing more complex spaces such as offices, media centers, garages, etc. and design scenarios such as peninsulas, blind corners, etc.
