tried simulating a hypothetical house by just using the tutorial as guide.
Lots of basic problems. The “Help” button usually comes up with
nothing on the topic. I can’t save my work so I can return to the SD
Wizard. I was told this program was easy to use. Did you all start with a
Training Course? Any info and guidance is much appreciated. Thanks<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
