The Architectural Desktop 4 Development
eGuide is our 3rd edition of this guide series and now offers
print-ready .pdf formatted chapters.
This edition has more links, more in-depth explanations, more illustrations and more tips than ever before. Every Chapter has been expanded by at least 10% with new sections on Display Representations for every Object Style.
If you like concepts presented in graphical illustrations rather than volumes of text, we have one of the most illustrated guides on the market today. Virtually every topic has an illustration to make it easier and faster for you to understand how to work with the tools and Objects in Architectural Desktop 2004. Don't just take our word for it, read subscriber testimonials or make inquiries on-line at your favorite Architectural Desktop Discussion Board and see what others have to say.

The Architectural Desktop 4 Development eGuide is unlike any guide you have ever read because it wasn't designed for paper. It was designed to be read right there on your computer monitor while you are struggling to figure out how to get that Object to behave the way you want it to. This guide is also part of a series of guides that continue to expand and grow; new information is published monthly.
For those who just have to have it on paper or want to download the guide, we now have print-read .pdf versions that can be accessed via the Printer icon at the top of every updated chapter.
Illustrated to the right are sections from the Walls, Stairs and Roofs Chapters. Nearly every dialog box, pull-down menu, pop-up menu and on-screen action is broken down and discussed with as much care and detail as illustrated to the right.
Included with your subscription you get access to the OSMOSIS website where we offer other information and tools such as the PowerSTRIP 4.0 toolbar menu that has all of the ADT 3.3 toolbars missing in ADT 4.0.
