Even the most powerful and feature-rich software product is useless if people don\u2019t want to use it.<\/p>\n<p>In this blog series, I\u2019ve discussed the value of BIM software and <span><a href=\"https:\/\/vertexcad.com\/bd\/\">Vertex BD<\/a><\/span> and how these transformational technologies benefit different stakeholders and sectors across the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry.<\/p>\n<p>In this final blog for the series, I share a few tips to help new customers get off to a smooth start folding Vertex into their daily workflows, where the most value can be realized.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Start with People<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before diving into the software, it\u2019s wise to zoom out and make sure you\u2019re creating an environment in which key contributors will be open to learning about and using the new software.<\/p>\n<p>The tried and true <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allnewbusiness.com\/people-process-technology\/\">people, processes, and technology (PPT) framework<\/a><\/span> is a great model to use when considering how to roll out your BIM investment to the organization.<\/p>\n<p>Starting with people, it\u2019s important to realize that many professionals have mixed feelings about automation. Some see it as a threat to their jobs, and it\u2019s important to address those concerns proactively.<\/p>\n<p>You can share that tools like Vertex BD don\u2019t threaten the jobs of designers or builders. Instead, these tools enable professionals to be more productive and less burdened by menial tasks that consume much of their time. Also, by learning how to use leading-edge BIM tools, professionals can increase their own value in the marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also prudent to think in advance about how the new BIM tools will affect the organization\u2019s established processes. Depending on the size and complexity of the organization, the process changes will range from minimal to significant.<\/p>\n<p>Rely on your organization\u2019s change management processes and established practices, and consider appointing team leads or champions from each stakeholder group that will be affected by the changes. Soliciting their feedback early on and effectively addressing it will go a long way toward cultivating buy-in.<\/p>\n<p>Now let\u2019s discuss the technology aspect.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Begin with the Basics<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The first step we recommend to all new Vertex BD users is to watch the <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=B1Wsm7gr1GU&amp;list=PLFQo-hfpQpkMWK6-TzIcvK18ogYsYy16F&amp;index=1\">Vertex BD Basics<\/a><\/span> playlist on our <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@VertexBDBuildingDesignSoftware\">YouTube channel<\/a><\/span>. We encourage new users to open their Vertex BD software and follow along as we take them through the basics of using our software.<\/p>\n<p>The videos on this playlist identify all of the software\u2019s foundational elements, including an overview of the user interface (UI), menus and navigation, tool strips, ribbon functions, mouse and keyboard functions, help menus, and more. Most, if not all, of a new user\u2019s FAQs are addressed in this playlist.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019re familiar with the basics, move on to the tutorials that specialize in the framing materials you are working with.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Wood Framing and Cold-Formed Steel Tutorials<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Vertex BD provides tutorials tailored for both <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TbOKRbbDAC8&amp;list=PLFQo-hfpQpkOUKxPo8PpVpnQm_SVW9SqE\">wood framing<\/a><\/span> and <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XICLcVeS8Vs&amp;list=PLFQo-hfpQpkOfXX7YH9VDAq5q4EnoQrJi\">cold-formed steel<\/a><\/span> applications.

The playlist for wood framing addresses options for log and timber-framed homes, for example, while the steel tutorials cover steel trusses.<\/p>\n<p>After learning the topics addressed by each set of videos, designers and builders will have the knowledge to begin using Vertex BD.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Create Projects and Drawings<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The next step to integrating Vertex BD into your company\u2019s operations is to <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=g0HXwKsHzcw\">set up a new project<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The easy-to-follow steps outlined in the linked video cover every mouse click and address essential time-saving topics such as using template projects and drawing model pairs.<\/p>\n<p>Once the first project is ready to go, check out this <span><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/qxHGKdeC_UA?si=tG9c2vWxSqpJKHcy\">video<\/a><\/span> for detailed instructions on creating new drawings for the project.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>We\u2019re Here to Help<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The steps outlined in this blog will put you well on your way to folding Vertex BD into your project workflows.<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to bookmark the <span><a href=\"https:\/\/kben.vertex.fi\/bd\/getting-started-with-vertex-bd\">Tutorials<\/a><\/span> page on our website, which addresses a wide range of topics that will be useful for both beginners and experienced BIM users.<\/p>\n<p>And if you get stuck, Vertex\u2019s customer support team is ready to help.
