CET Designer
strategy:
• Series of exercises that expose students to the technology and have them explore the capabilities and the variety of furniture options.• CET Designer Exercise #1 – step by step
instructions to build a few spaces using the Walls extension and furniture space planning together. Each student then adds to that assignment independently and submits.
* Tip – use of a LMS will allow students to submit electronically without file size issues. Ethernet connections are encouraged for large file sizes.

exercise #1:

exercise #2:
• Students develop typical open office workstation settings. This has them exploring the furniture application options and further experiencing the technology.
CET Designer
exercise #3:
• Using what was developed in exercise #2, students add finishes and create a simple rendering using the photo lab.
CET Designer
exercise #4:
• Students then create a report and export bill of material for the settings developed in exercise #2.

support:
• first line of support is instructor - be brave
• second string is dealer support – build those relationships, and don’t abuse
• back up is Configura chat support – typically this is the technology system settings, or the mysteries that can happen…
CET Designer
learn from my mistakes:
• Expectations for installation…
• The first semester, I had the students build ALL of the architecture in CET Designer.
• Originally I had 3 exercises and combined the rendering with the report. CET Designer is better in smaller bits.
CET Designer
learn from my mistakes:
• Time management and differentiating learning styles – use screen capture and update each semester!
