The progression

Every deck is graded 1 to 7: level 1 is the reflex core, the top level is where the specialists live. One move from each, so you can see how far it goes.

  1. Level 14 moves

    Draw a straight edge between two points.

    L

    The whole model is edges and faces, and every one of them starts here.

    …and 3 more at this level

  2. Level 27 moves

    Draw a rectangle from two opposite corners.

    R

    Faster than four Line segments, and it snaps to square for you.

    …and 6 more at this level

  3. Level 310 moves

    Copy an edge or face inward or outward at a fixed distance.

    F

    Wall thickness, frames, and borders all fall out of one offset.

    …and 9 more at this level

  4. Level 41 move

    Wrap the current selection into a reusable component.

    G

    Components keep copies linked and file size down; make it a reflex.

  5. Level 53 moves

    Drag a freehand lasso outline to select geometry.

    Shift+Spacebar

    Reaches irregular clusters a rectangular window box can't corner.

    …and 2 more at this level

  6. Level 61 move

    Toggle Back Edges to see hidden edges through faces.

    K

    Snapping to points behind a face needs those edges visible.

  7. Level 71 move

    Launch the Match Photo / place-image tool (listed as 'Image Igloo').

    I

    A rarely-bound default worth knowing when you model from a photo.

How graduation works. Drill until every move in the deck holds at ≥95% first-try, under 800ms median, across two separate days. Then the deck is done — and you get a certificate stating exactly that, plus a LinkedIn credential in one click.
