Building Systems Quick Start ColdStream Software offers a ‘Quick Start’ Autodesk Building Systems 2006 Training course. The duration of the course depends on the number of disciplines covered. We also offer custom advanced level training for users that are interested in adding parametric or block-based parts, working with the catalog editor, or creating other custom content including property set definitions, schedule tables, and schematic symbols. Call us at 803-781-3967 regarding the duration of the ‘Quick Start’ and Custom Advanced Level classes. We will be happy to talk with you regarding your exact needs and provide you with an estimate of time and costs based on those needs. Completion of one of the 'quick start' courses or an equivalent in work experience with the software is a pre-requisite to anyone who wishes to engage in the Custom Advanced Level Classes. All classes are segmented by Discipline and by Project Workflow. We encourage all students to attend the first day of the ‘quick start’ classes since all of the common tools are covered in that session. The other sessions are discipline specific and while we encourage all students to attend the entire ‘quick start’ class, it is not necessary for Students of one discipline to attend the session of another discipline. 'Quick Start' Training Outline Building Systems Training includes the Mechanical (HVAC, Piping, and Plumbing) and Electrical disciplines. The curriculum provides an intensive series of lectures coupled with hands-on exercises that will familiarize the student with the fundamental features of the software using an example of a small commercial project. The student will learn by using the same procedures that would be followed during the execution of an actual project.
