ViewBuilder II
Course Overview
Students will create equipment graphics from a schematic drawing and technician pages. As an example, students will be tasked to create one graphic for different types of similar equipment with the idea of creating a master graphic for all VAVs to shorten engineering time. In addition, students will create a standard template for their company. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to identify, define, and/or apply advanced conditional expressions, WebCTRL paths for system/ equipment linking, and complete customization of equipment graphics, including HTML controls, external links, document links, email links, and custom images and symbols for WebCTRL graphics.

Prerequisites
ViewBuilder II
Traditional Classroom
A live instructor will lead up to 12 students (course dependent) in hands-on exercises with minimal lecture in between. Using the situated learning techniques of the Kirkpatrick Model, this methodology fosters a collaborative learning environment where students are positioned to maximize knowledge retention. This course is 2- or 3-day event depending on location.
Instructor-Led eLearning
A live instructor will lead students using video conferencing and remote access software. The student will have remote access to a training station to complete hands-on tasks, giving them a virtual classroom experience from many miles away. This course is hosted in the same 2 or 3-day timeframe and manner as the traditional classroom format.
