It will cover the most important concepts and common commands necessary to use Fabrication ESTmep software at a fundamental level. The objective of this course is to introduce the essential functionality of Fabrication ESTmep software so that a new user can generate accurate cost estimates from imported models and traced drawings. We will cover how to navigate through Fabrication ESTmep software, basic reporting, understanding pricing, and best practices.  \nYour AU Expert(s)  \nLyle Janda is a technical advisor at Applied Software for the Autodesk Fabrication products. He has extensive experiencing in installing, training and supporting Fabrication CADmep, ESTmep, CAMduct, Tracker and RemoteEntry. Lyle previously worked as a designer and drafter for an MEP contractor. He has contributed significantly towards the creation of the Applied Configuration pack for the US market and our courseware and training materials creation efforts. Lyle is also involved with Applied Software go-to-market strategy for a best known practices knowledgebase for the Autodesk Fabrication Solutions.  \n[http://www.asti.com/News-Events/blogs/cid/91?Category=fabrication-blog](http://www.asti.com/News-Events/blogs/cid/91?Category=fabrication-blog)[ ](http://www.asti.com/News-Events/blogs/cid/91?Category=fabrication-blog)[ljanda@asti.com](ljanda@asti.com)  \nGreg Murphy is currently working at Murphy Company, a $200m+ St. Louis, MO Design Build Mechanical Contractor, as Supervisor– BIM Technology & Support. He has over 30yrs of experience in the Mechanical Contracting Industry with extensive experience in estimating and  \ndetailing for mechanical piping, sheet metal and process piping. Greg has trained Autodesk Fabrication ESTmep as well as other software packages. He attended Louisburg Junior College in Louisburg, NC for computer science and also attended Wake Technical Community College in Raleigh, NC for mechanical engineering technology. Greg enjoys helping others get the most out of their Integrated Fabrication Solutions.  \nLearn how to navigate through Fabrication ESTmep  \nStarting Fabrication ESTmep  \nDouble-click the Fabrication ESTmep desktop shortcut to launch the program.  \nCreate Blank Job  \nOpens a new, empty MAJ job that must be named before it can be saved.  \nShow New Job Wizard  \nInitiates a step-by-step process for starting a new job that will be saved in the Projects folder.  \nShow Job Browser  \nDisplays a global tree view of all Projects which are stored within the software’s mapped Projects folder or within your Autodesk 360 cloud storage.  \nOpen Job  \nDisplays a file browser window to locate and open Jobs stored on the local computer, on server storage or cloud storage.  \nMAJ vs. ESJ  \nThe two file types that are used within the Fabrication products.  \nMAJ  \nAutomatically links to the current database. ( Start new jobs using MAJ files )  \nESJ  \nOr Archive Jobs saves a snapshot of the current database into the ESJ file. ( Save jobs as ESJ)  \nESTmep User Interface  \nThe Fabrication ESTmep user interface is like that of Autodesk AutoCAD in that it uses pull down menus, toolbars, pallets, and right-click menus. But it uses a CAD engine that is somewhat different from the AutoCAD user interface. AutoCAD users will see strong similarities in the Fabrication ESTmep user interface, but anyone with some basic CAD experience will quickly acclimatize themselves to this software.  \nItems Tab  \nThis displays all Items in the job in a Non-graphical list view.  \n3D Viewer Tab  \nYou may think of the 3D Viewer tab as a CAD s","cbCaivsqML1LGjt4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivsqML1LGjt4","pdf",1487762,17,"English","# Learning Objectives\n# Description\n# Your AU Expert(s)\n# Learn how to navigate through Fabrication ESTmep\n## Starting Fabrication ESTmep\n## Create Blank Job\n## Show New Job Wizard\n## Show Job Browser\n## Open Job\n## MAJ vs. ESJ\n## ESTmep User Interface\n## Items Tab\n## 3D Viewer Tab\n## Item Folders\n## Utility Bar\n## Pull-down Menus\n## Center View Pane and Toolbars\n## Service Selection\n## Service Pallet and Service Tabs\n## Setup Services\n## Edit Service Template","[{\"question\":\"What are the main learning objectives of this Hands–On Lab for Fabrication ESTmep?\",\"answer\":\"The material focuses on navigating Fabrication ESTmep, creating models using on-screen takeoff, discovering pricing for MEP jobs, learning how to use reports, and using Estimate Summary.\"},{\"question\":\"How do MAJ and ESJ file types differ in Fabrication products?\",\"answer\":\"MAJ automatically links to the current database and is used to start new jobs, while ESJ (Archive Jobs) saves a snapshot of the current database into the ESJ file.\"},{\"question\":\"What components of the ESTmep user interface does the lab introduce?\",\"answer\":\"It introduces the Items tab, 3D Viewer tab, item folders, utility bar, pull-down menus, and the center view pane with toolbars, explaining how users interact with graphical and non-graphical views.\"}]","Hands - On Lab: Introduction to Fabrication ESTmep | PDF",43]
