Formit manual?

[meclavel]

Is there a basic manual for Formit 360? I need basic information and cannot find anything that wouldallow me to learn from the ground up and troubleshoot basic issues.

This FormIt Primer is a good introduction to the application - http://formit360.autodesk.com/blog/post/introducing-the-formit-primer

and the FormIt website has a blog component with several helpful posts - http://formit360.autodesk.com/blog

Finally (and maybe most helpful) is the youtube channel with many of our FormIt Friday webinars - this one in particular has many how to's: https://youtu.be/uds8lYp3Dkk?t=17m9s

Thanks for posting on the Forums!

Tobias, Thank you so much! I am a total Rube, and am anxious to get started, so your reply is both incredibly helpful and astonishingly prompt.

The Formit manual is a shitty and dense document written by people who have bugger all understanding of design processes in the digital environment like most modelling manuals!

Maybe Autodesk/Formit could get Balkin Architect to do a series on Formit that would at least be understandable!

Yes, there is a manual, and it's the usual "verbal diarrhea" instruction manual in which you learn to do the prescribed technique by completing the task but learn nothing in the process!  Don't know where Autodesk/Formit find training instructors/ manual authors but most times they are pretty useless!
