You can toggle the initial Welcome window on and off depending on your preferences. The Welcome window offers options for starting a new design or opening a design you’ve been working on. Additionally, the Welcome window provides access to training material, sample plans, and special offers specifically for Architect 3D users.

When creating a new design, you’ll then specify your project settings. For more information on project settings, see “Floor Settings”
