Remember to always use some the basic tools during the training test

Always use shortcut to select the tools
Right Angle Tool (F) – use this all the time is possible. This is the main too used in drawing building. This will enable you to draw Buildings Very Straight
Square tool (E) – They will enable you to draw Squares quickly. Use this on simple buildings
Draw tool (S) – This will enable you to draw buildings on a freestyle mode. This should only be used on angles that are not straight
Repair tools (X) / (Z) tool – X for Right angle. Z for free style repair. This will make you fix buildings much quicker.
Arc tool (G) – This is the tools use to draw Circles.
Trace tool (H) – This will be frequently used on drawing multilayers buildings. This will enable you draw parallel layers then make sure your draw correct 3D structures.
Define/copy sidewall direction (3) – This is used when you draw building that has visible sidewalls.
Paste sidewall direction (6) – This is used to paste the copied vector from other buildings.
Brother way – This is the best way to draw multilayered buildings. Essentially you need to use Trace tool (H) . This tool will make all you drawing have straight footprint.
Drag tool (W)– Your main navigation tool. This will enable you to drag through the image. This is used all the time to move from grid to grid.
Toggle tool (R). This will turn you SHP on and off. Very useful in drawing buildings to see the actual look of the building.
Cut tool (T) – This will enable you to Cut(T) on feature. Very important tool.
