Note: Using a subtractive methodology at the user level forWe have been taking the opposite, "additive" approach, wherein our templates are very slim, and the user is provided with instructions about how to populate the templates with content. I am wondering if we should move from this to the other idea.
removing superfluous views is much easier and more reliable then
an additive one which does not require the setup or the attention
to detail otherwise needed; so it is therefore recommended that the
Layout Book be as complete as possible for all project types.

Beyond simple tutorials and noodling around,however, these users have not had to dive in and use the program in a substantial fashion.

Tom,
Thanks for your response.... we have 4 advanced users and 6 novice users that are coming from AutoCAD backgrounds.
There has been introductory in-house and reseller training to get these novice users exposed to ArchiCAD, BIM, etc. Beyond simple tutorials and noodling around,however, these users have not had to dive in and use the program in a substantial fashion.
Thanks.
