@ASE360 for certain structures, how will you know if it is advisable to go at an angle with the cursor or just to come straight down. I’ve tried asking my instructor, however it was very confusing as to what she was saying. I came in at an angle for the RV but she said don’t do that. Same thing with the LA. I just get really confused. PLEASE HELP!❤ thank you 😊
