Guide for Begginer new to Protocase Designer?

Post by mybadomen »

Hiya guys i am a Custom Pc Builder and Modder that has been building and customizing Pcs for many years.Alot of my work can be found on Overclocker.net.But now i am ready to take it to the next step by building complete custom Builds including the Case design.This is how i found this software and company.I am not to familiar with this kind of software so i was wondering if there is a complete beginners guide for it.I got as far as installing it and making 1 panel and that's about it.I have no idea how to make other parts and join them together or anything.I don't mind spending many hours learning the software as it seems perfect for me.The other thing is are there templets of Pc's already made ?For example lets say i wanted to start with a Nzxt Phantom case template,tear it down and design my own case from that.Is this possible.The reason for wanting to use other case templates it to make sure when i am finished the parts will all fit.Either way i really want to learn this software Please Help.

Thanks MybadOmen

Link to one of my build logs to get an idea what ii do now and where i want to go with it.

Currently, there are no PC templates. I do intend on developing the ability to place a motherboard standoffs and port cutout tool that allows you to place one anywhere in an enclosure.

Our help resources are located at:

There are videos for beginners and more advanced topics as well.

Finally, there is not the ability to take many panels and join them in arbitrary fashion. That is a couple of years down the road I'm afraid.

If you have specific questions about how to use the software, feel free to ask them here.
