This is webinar demo of the Autodesk instructional content that covers the essentials of GO pretty well.
It is way too easy to allow the details of the various GO configurations to overwhelm us and then miss the mission critical point that GO is an iterative tool.
The key and challenge of GO is not to get all the settings right but to plan, execute, and evaluate the desired results iteratively.

Is an intermediate surface or two a better GO workflow?
