**************************************** Welcome to the Mastering Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2004 CD ROM **************************************** The CD contains two WinZip Self-extracting Archives. MasterADT2 - Imperial.exe -- contains all of the Imperial Units datasets. MasterADT2 - Metric.exe -- contains all of the Metric Units datasets. Choose yout Unit Preference **************************************** You only need to install one of the datasets. Choose the one corresponding to your preferred Units. If you wish to perform the exercises in both Imperial and Metric, you can install both datasets. To do so, first install one dataset, then the other. They will both install into the same location on your C Drive. If you are prompted to overwrite any files, answer yes. The files that are overwritten on only support files that work in both measurement systems. No required ADT files will be overwritten. Installation Location **************************************** Files must be installed on the C Drive in the MasterADT2 folder. The default installation automatically uses this folder. If you simply double click the archive, it will install correctly. If you change the location, the first time you load any of the projects in ADT, you will be prompted to repath the project. You MUST choose "Repath" when prompted by ADT. If you don't none of the datasets will function properly. Also, if you do change the location, the Tool Catalogs provided will cease to function properly. For these reasons, you are highly encouraged to accept the default C:\MasterADT2 location for installation. The following Folder Structure will be created C:\ MasterADT2\ Appendix A Catalog Catalog Complete Chapter01 Chapter02 Chapter03 Chapter04 Chapter05 Chapter06 Chapter07 Chapter08 Chapter09 Chapter10 Chapter11 Chapter12 Chapter13 Chapter14 Chapter15 Chapter16 Chapter17 Chapter18 Within each Chapter folder, starting with Chapter05, there are four sub-folders: Commercial Commercial Complete Residential Residential Complete You will load the Project from the Project Browser on the File menu in ADT. Browse to either the Commercial or Residential folder for the Chapter in question and load the appropriate project. The Imperial Projects are named: MADT Commercial MADT Residential The Metric Projects are named: MADT Commercial Metric MADT Residential Metric At the completion of a Chapter, you may load the same project from the Commercial Complete and Residential Complete folders to compare your progress to the intended result. Installing Individual Chapters **************************************** There is no mechanism provided to install a single Chapter. If you do not intend to complete the tutorials for a particular Chapter, simply delete that folder from your C Drive after installation. You may want to keep Chapter 18 regardless of which Chapters you choose to delete. This is because this folder contains the final datasets with the complete version of each project for the entire book. The Catalogs in the Catalog Complete folder also reference the files in the Chapter18 folder.
