Introducing Envisioneer 4

$18.95

By Dr. Leonard O. Nasman

Recommended!   This book is designed to introduce the Envisioneer user interface.  Envisioneer contains a large variety of powerful tools for creating architectural designs.  Some users can become overwhelmed by the variety and complexity of the functions that are available in Envisioneer.  Remember, however, that you do not have to know everything about the program before you can start creating useful designs; and this quick introduction with an academic approach is an excellent tool to help you do just that!  Featuring Dr. Nasman's reknowed step-by-step format accompanied by detailed full color illustrations.  Full color, 44 pages; perfect bound.
