Can someone give me some websites to download additional fill patterns, material patterns and wall types. Specifically I am trying to create a decorative fence in a court yard, and the only options I have are chain link or crosh hatch.
Thanks
Great, thanks so much for all your help.
Gee, sorry to hear that, the interactive tutorials (with embeded videos) really saved my ignorant derier. But surely the others at the office can help?
1) Watch any video of AC work you can, youtube is a good source.
2) google anything by Eric Bobrow, his site (http://www.archicadtemplate.com/) has a couple of videos. Even if you do not care anything for his subject matter, you MUST watch the videos, you will see his drafting style, workflow and shortcuts, INVALUABLE. I bought a DVD on rendering, I learned lots of tips and tricks that had nothing to do with rendering.
3) Visit sites like AECBytes, they have many articles on AC usage, again the subject matter is NOT important. Listening or reading an expert at work is worth its weight in gold to you at this time.
4) really look at sites like the CadImage people, just looking at what they offer will give you ideas about what is possible and maybe get you to expand your skill set.
5) find out if there is a local users group.
6) Do you have a mentor, if not, find one. This is easier said than done, but once accomplished you will be a step ahead, and not just in the software arena. Really, start by asking Architects you admire. Do not ignore this piece of advice!
7) Ask your colleagues how they got over the learning curve.
Learning is a state of mind, there is no end point. So get creative about finding out what resources are available to you.
9) The GS Forum search feature is a lobotomy gone foul, but use it anyway. There are really good topics that will surprise you as to how easy some stuff is, once someone shows the way. Even back to 2004 in old versions you don't care about, the ideas are usually still valid.
10) attend all the webinars you can, again don't worry about the subject, just sign up for all of them.
Oops, dinner time, bye.

PS Hm, apparently the number eight followed by a close parenthesis = smiley face with dark glasses!
