Learn perfect proportions with the golden rectangle and regulating lines.
I have encountered one of, if not the best, videos showing how to create proportion.

 

The video begins by drawing a square, then shows how to create the golden rectangle. 

Using regulating lines, It goes on to show the perfect proportions of the Parthenon in Greece. 
It’s only 45 seconds long, I’ll show it to you…

Training and Education
The importance of teaching Object-Based CAD.
The GPTC course was NOT designed to focus on any brand of software. That’s part of the mess we are in now as an industry. Instead, the intent is to focus on the structure and nature of Object-Based CAD.

We should teach critical skills and the “nature” of the available tools. 

 

Every state may teach a different software. However, if adequately trained in terms of structure, it doesn’t matter.
