    INSTALLING 20-20

    Overwrite Your Previous Version 6

    The Setup program now asks you if you want to overwrite your

    previous Version 6.

    ClickYes, otherwise you will exit the installation. The Setup program

    reads any folder name where your previous version is installed and

    installs Version 6.1 in that folder. For example, whether you hadchosen to keep the default 2020V60 folder or another name such as

    My2020, Version 6.1 is copied in that folder.

    Therefore, none of your data is overwritten.

    To complete the installation of Version 6.1, go to page 18. You may

    not have to install QuickTime 5 if it is already installed on your

    computer.

    You may need to restart your computer to complete the installation.

    There are three different ways of viewing the items on the Work area:

    Floor Plan

    Bill of Materials.

    The Floor Plan area is the first one you see and use; this is where you

    draw the wall structure.

    Afterwards, you can decide which walls you want to see on the

    Elevation area.

    Leave the mouse over an icon for a few seconds to know its use.

    To Get Cues, the Information Box

    The Information box has several purposes:

    When you are creating or editing a design, it lets you know what

    Instead of using the mouse to specify values such as the wall length or

    the cabinet position, you can get more precision by using the keyboardand the Edit box.

    You can display values in feet/inches (1' 2"), inches only (14"), ormillimeters (55mm), depending on the selection under the Units tab of

    the Display Settings.

    Furthermore, when you enter a measurement in inches only, there is noneed to enter the inch symbol ("). For instance, if you type in 5.5 and

    press TAB, you will see 5 1/2".

    When typing in fractions, you can use either format:

    57.5 (using a decimal point)

    or

    Draw the Layout

    When you draw a layout, remember that:

    you should draw wall/construction lines in a clockwise sequence so

    items are placed inside the room.

    the start position on the floor plan indicates an invisible quadrant:

    this determines the direction of the first wall/construction line. Theadvantage is that you do not need to change the angle.

    construction lines are invisible walls often used to create structuressuch as islands.

    you can place items on one or both sides of a wall/construction line.

    one side such as on an exterior wall containing an Insideplacement zone.
