v0.4.1版本新增案例引导功能
v0.4.1版本新增案例引导功能
为了帮助用户更好更快的使用软件，AI-structure Copilot v0.4.1版本增加了“案例引导”功能，基于一张普通的建筑图纸，引导用户按照指引一步一步完成智能设计和结构分析等功能。
1.1 案例引导功能的使用
用户点击“案例引导”功能按钮（图1），即可打开已经准备好的建筑图纸，并进入引导界面（图2），点击确认后，软件将弹出案例引导操作视频的对话框（图3）。

图3 案例引导操作视频
根据使用软件的具体步骤，这里我们分为“登录/注册”、“参数设置”、“建筑构件识别”、“识别结果校核”、“建筑空间提取”、“剪力墙-梁智能设计”、“结构建模分析”、“剪力墙-梁优化”、“计算模型导出”等9个步骤。每个步骤用户在观看完教学视频后，需要手动完成该步骤的操作，即可进入下一个步骤。
特别需要指出的是，前6个步骤为完成智能设计所必须的步骤，不可以跳过，用户必须逐一操作才能完成智能设计；而“结构建模分析”、“剪力墙-梁优化”、“计算模型导出”三个步骤为用户可以选择的分析功能，用户可以选择“跳过此步”不去进行视频学习和操作。全部案例引导步骤完成后，软件将自动退出案例引导模块。
1.2 案例引导功能的中途退出
在用户使用案例引导功能过程中，如果某一步骤后，不需要再使用引导功能，则可选择“退出案例引导”（图4），来结束引导过程。此外，用户也可以通过直接关闭案例引导的图纸（图5），来随时结束引导功能。
