I'm trying to teach myself CATIA/Digital Project. Yes, I am an idiot. No, there is nobody around here that knows it. Does anyone have any good suggestions? Resources? Tutorials? Anything? I know my way around a lot of 3d programs, like Maya, rhino and GC, but I have no idea what to do in DP. Where do I start? How does this dang power copy work?
So i guess what I'm trying to do is create a truss system that uses fixed components at varied spacing on the bottom, and varies as it goes up depending on the spacing. Any suggestions?
good luck. i had a week long training and some dp gurus at my beck and call for 6 months before i got the hang of it. I also had a lot of 3d experience beforehand. to understand catia/dp, you really need to understand its organizational structure. i call it architectural accounting. it's very powerful, but its a huge pain in the ass and kinda boring. give me rhino any day.
do you have access to an FTP site. i can send you a tuitoral from the digital project class i am in now. it will pretty much teach you whatever you need to know.
Yeah, 3dH is definitely the future of architecture, but I don't think I'm quite ready for it. I wish I were as cutting edge as that, damn. Is there any way to save that gif as my own honeycomb cathedral desktop?
but seriously, randar82: I do have access to an ftp site. can you email me? That would be pretty awesome. Where are you taking this class? SCI arc?
archasm: It does seem kind of boring but pretty pwoerful. I'd like to do crazy things with it but I don't know how restricting it is. How much do you use it? I just found the layers standards. It seems pretty well organized into a good workflow.
I am still hypnotized by this gif. I'm so glad it worked it's way into this post.

I know what you're thinking, and you're probably right, but...
