Course 2: Truss Design Training
Course Overview
This course will explore the core functionalities of Design mode in the Paragon Design App, teaching the skills necessary to create truss components from scratch without needing to create a layout. This course builds on the Intro to Paragon course.
This will establish a foundational skill set for anyone tasked with creating truss designs in the Paragon Design App and prepares you for more advanced design work and further skill development. The examples found within are intended to teach the tools available in Paragon, not necessarily specific truss design principles.
