Chapter 2 2D Design

Interface

The interface of 2D design is shown as below:
The interface includes:
Menu: All commands can be found in menu
Toolbar: Shortcut icons of main commands can be found
Design Wizard: Showing the steps of design
Drawing space: Where you can draw the floor plan
Furniture library: includes Yuan Fang system library and manufacturer’s customized library. Left click to unfold each category and call certain piece of furniture

Common Operation

  • Usage of the Mouse
Left click: Most commands are accomplished by left click. For example: selecting pull-down menu, clicking icon on toolbar and etc.
Right click: Some commands are ended by right click. For any existing object, right click it and the edit command will be shown.

Chapter 10 Online Cloud Library

Online Cloud Library is a brand new system developped by YFCAD, aiming to provide more efficient customized modeling service to individual users.
Online Modeling Service contains 3 parts: Make Model, Check Model, and Recharge.

• Make Model. This is for submitting model information.
• Check Model. This is for checking the progress of modeling. Users can also send their feedbacks about the model to YFCAD.
• Recharge. This is for the basic cost of the service.

Basic Operations:

Part1: Make Model
Part2: Check Model
Part3: Recharge
