Tutorials

The following are a set of tutorials for you to work on.  Before attempting the tutorials, you should read through the user manual and view the examples of each button.  All tutorials assume some knowledge of button functionality, but each button pictured in the tutorial steps is linked to the appropriate page for functionality descriptions.

Things to Remember While Doing the Tutorials:

The Tutorials:

NOTE:  The files for download for each tutorial are gzipped.  When you right click and Save As... the .gz extension may be removed. Check the file name and add the .gz file extension, if necessary, before downloading.  The file should remain gzipped when downloaded but without the .gz file extension it will not be recognized as such.  The .igs files are ascii text, so if it's really unzipped, it should be readable.

NOTE:  The Introductory Tutorials contain much more instruction on how to get a solid foundation of skills for CAD clean up and volume grid generation.  These skills, along with the comfort with the user interface gained from completing the tutorials, will be assumed in the Advanced Tutorials.
