Once installed, the JoinerCAD extension may be opened either from the Autodesk® Fusion® toolbar or simply by switching the work environment.

Using JoinerCAD you need to design furniture geometry by using standard Fusion tools together with JoinerCAD Skeleton Design functionality, which accelerates the 3D design process significantly.

Once done, now it is time to assign various woodworking attributes to your designed 3D furniture geometry:

1. Create and Assign certain Fill material groups to parts rather than specific materials, which can be specified in more detail in BOM by assigning the manufacturer, code, color, etc.
   
   
2. Create and Assign Cover materials in the same way as filling materials. However, cover material group types may be assigned only to those parts that already have the fill material group assigned in JoinerCAD. Cover materials also can be specified in more detail in BOM by assigning the manufacturer, code, color, etc.
   
   
3. Turn the Texture direction of assigned Fill material or Cover material groups. Use the Oversize control tool. It allows setting the dimensions of the workpiece, which will be used to make the part.
   
   
4. Insert the Intelligent Hardware in the model and generate Holes. JoinerCAD extension has its own hardware database containing standard and most common joints. You can also design your own hardware, but it has to be processed so that it can be recognized by the BOM generator of the JoinerCAD extension.
   
   
5. Use JoinerCAD BOM generator. It provides comprehensive, clear and well-structured information. BOM shows material groups assigned to the model, their workpieces with oversize, hardware and all other essential values, which may be represented in the BOM or not at the user's choice.
   
   
6. Before exporting BOM to MS Excel or Google Drive Spreadsheet, elaborate on the Fill material groups, Cover material groups and Hardware used in the model, i.e., replace their entries with specific materials and other information, if necessary.
   
   
7. Export BOM to MS Excel or Google Drive Spreadsheet and use data to start the production.
   
   
8. Make a Drawing with a designed model independent copy. it allows to design of similar products with modified dimensions in a very fast way.
