CES EduPack: Architecture Edition

The CES EduPack Architecture Edition provides all of the software features included in the Standard Edition but with a tailored Architecture Database instead of the standard EduPack database. It also contains a Structural Sections Database and comes with an additional student handout.

The Materials & Processes and Elements Databases are not supplied with this edition.
