The basic approach is completely different than in autocad. The whole software was invented to design residential buildings in it, not a universal CAD design program. (Computer-aided design). The big difference is that the rendered 3D image is created while drawing, unlike in autoCad. Every detail of the software is made up of building design, not drawing a building in it would be very difficult.

== What are the materials ==
Materials play a very important role even in invisible components for two reasons:
* In the final, exact list of materials, non-visible elements are also included (concrete base, wooden frame, OSB covering, etc.)

Interestingly, our settings can only be viewed by mothers in the 'User catalog'. It either gets material here by creating a new one or copying an existing one and then we can put it in here.

== OSB material (a good little example)==
OSB also has three resources in the 'Library browser':

==Production of custom objects and shapes (Symbol) ==
=== Overview ===
As you can see, there are both 2D and 3D objects in the built-in factory library. As I understand it, 2D objects are always used by extrusion in CA. For example, if we have a 2D object of this shape, we can turn it into such a 3D window sill automatically:

There are things you can't do with a built-in feature in CA. In this case, we have to improvise or model the given shape by hand. Eg the corner railing element shown in the picture below with the sloping wall, but above it the straight railing cannot be solved with the built-in tools. '' 'Bold text' ''

== Draw a terrain==
Go to the 'Terran Configuration' toolbar ([[File: ClipCapIt-210428-000840.PNG]]) in the top right corner of the toolbar and select the 'Create terrain perimeter' tool from the 'Terrain tool':
