Smith, Signature Architects
Mike will show us how to increase

the XClip cube!

Greg will show how you can
set up a simple FTP (File Transfer Protocol) site
on the Internet which you can use to allow your clients,
contractors, and
consultants to have access to drawing files and other
project documents. He will
discuss some of the advantages of FTP over other means
of transmitting documents
to your project team.
* Advanced Lesson: Shadow Studies using Sketchup &
DataCAD by Evan H. Shu, FAIA
Evan will show how he used
DataCAD and Sketchup in combination to help a

by creating animated
shadow studies.
