• Start designing two ways: block and stack a program, or build from scratch against targets
• Import a site and draw boundaries before running cut and fill
• Use line, arc, and copy tools to shape early massing
• Subdivide by department and convert straight into BIM or a presentation

Two ways to start designing after pulling a program into design mode: block and stack the program blocks directly for early adjacency studies, or start from scratch using the program as targets. Import a site, draw boundaries, use cut and fill, then use line, arc, and copy tools to model massing, subdivide by department, and convert to BIM or presentation. (Condensed summary.
