Introduction



I. TopSolidPlanner Administrator
A clear distinction must be made between the two user profiles of TopSolidPlanner:

Administrator, which corresponds to the design office part (Production / Design).
End user, which corresponds to the product sales part (Business).

The administrator section covers the creation of standard libraries, the design of the various
components and their position mode in TopSolidPlanner, plus the definition of prices for
TopSolidQuote.
The end user part simply covers the use of the software with libraries that have already been
created, and show the price list in TopSolidQuote.

II. Prerequisites for the TopSolidPlanner administrator
The administrator user demand knowledge of the TopSolid and creation of standard
components (definition and creation of a library, use of processes, drivers, catalogs,
publications, etc.).


III. Prerequisites for the TopSolidPlanner end user

The user of TopSolidPlanner in furniture shop does not demand any special CAD-CAM skills.
However, knowledge of the behavior of the components in the libraries that are used is
essential (catalog code, positioning, etc.).
