Qnect is a powerful, intelligent and complex software. These units and lessons are designed to help you get up-to-speed quickly and to provide you with an overview of what Qnect can do. What we have found in working with many people just like you, is that the best way to see Qnect is to work with us on one of your live projects.

Unit 1: Lesson 1

Why use Qnect?

Schedule, costs, profits. These are a few themes during this 2-minute lesson. You'll gain an understanding of the capabilities and benefits of using Qnect on every project with real customer examples. Because many have asked, we will review the pricing, which is unique in the industry and described by many as a true "win-win." Towards the end, we share our AECE promise to you, the customer.

Unit 1: Lesson 2

What makes Qnect work?

We almost named this lesson, "what makes Qnect so awesome?" because we hear that often. This slightly shorter lesson provides some of the behind the scenes of Qnect. We go through the components that make Qnect Fast and Intelligent. For those still asking about "the Cloud" we tackle that as well. We also "explain" a bit about Qnect that should prepare you to get started.

Unit 1: Lesson 3

Can I please get started?

Yes, we'll keep this video as short yet thorough as we can. We do recommend that before watching this video, you Sign Up to start your account setup process. As we work in the background on your account, you will learn how to download the Qnect app, where you'll find it in your toolbar and some basic setup. Nothing too deep. We leave that for the next units.

Unit 2: Lesson 1

Setting up Standard Job Preferences

Now you have an account. You can sign into your account. Most importantly, you can begin connecting your projects but first, you have set up some standard job preferences. We're here to help along the way of course so consider this an overview. Keep in mind, that the initial setup might take some time. Then, most people tend to use (or copy) past preferences reducing time considerably.

Unit 2: Lesson 2

Using Button 1 & Button 2

With the standard preferences set you're ready to export model data and then import engineered Qnections. Select all or part of the model and click Button 1. Give it a name and submit. Once completed, you'll use Button 2. It's pretty much that easy to start. Watch the process in this video and get some of the "what if" questions answered before watching the next lesson.

How to Read Reports

Keeping to the schedule means communicating with others on the project. Qnect provides detailed yet easy to understand reports. In this lesson, we review the three most important reports:

  • Connection Reports

Unit 3: Lesson 1

How to use the Listener Tool

With Qnect’s Listener, revisions have never been easier or safer. Simply put, the Listener listens. It listens for changes being made in the model. When changes are made, you'll be assured that accurate engineering will be applied to all revisions. In this lesson, you'll see the Listener in action as well as revision tracking. This is one tool that keeps your schedule on target.

Unit 3: Lesson 2

Working with Advanced Reports

We learned in Unit 2: Lesson 3 "How to read reports" and we focused on three common reports. This lesson introduces several additional "advanced" reports and dives a bit deeper into the previous reports. Please keep in mind that Qnect is packed with data and because of that we're committed to making sure that that data produces results for you and will not bog you down.

Unit 3: Lesson 3

Setting up Advanced Preference Settings

Now you're getting the hang of it, right? If not, no worries. We'll get you through your projects; that's our promise. At the same time, you want to know just how much you can do with Qnect. In this lesson, you'll go beyond the preference settings reviewed in Unit 2: Lesson 1. "Not complicated but a bit more complex" is how some have described Advance Preference Settings.

How to Estimodel using Qnect

For this lesson, we share with you a 25-minute recorded webinar, where you will learn how-to:

  • Build a stick model appropriate for estimating 
  • Connect the model while optimizing to reduce costs 
  • Transfer the data to your MIS tools to increase profits

Typical results include reduced costs, reduced work hours and increased profits.
