I had this product years ago and it didn’t upgrade after Windows 7. I need to again and will purchase it. Will,the older version drawings open with the newer version?
I’d like to use this software to remodel a home in Puerto Rico, where construction is made strictly out of concrete; to include the roof. Is this software capable of such construction design?
First of all thanks for video. Second One at 17:50 when I changed to Kitchen and Bath plan View - all dimensions which I've made were still there. I don't understand why. I did exactly as you in this video. All other things work fine.
I would recommend reaching out to our Technical Support team to look into the problem further. They have a lot of knowledge in this area and can help you troubleshot this issue. Technical support can be reached at 208-292-3399 Monday - Friday from 7 AM - 5 PM Pacific.
Hi Scott A few years ago you did a Tutorial on how to create a Property Brochure, for an Agent who wants to showcase a house FOR SALE. You did the floor plan and then indicated/demonstrated how the 3d model could be overlaid as a watermark on the floor layout. Please post a link to that video. Thank you
Hello, Rafeek Hendricks. Here is an article that goes over that process step by step: www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01142/creating-an-image-for-use-in-a-brochure-flyer-or-website.html
Second Floor Question: I am designing and building a 2 story home with several elevation changes and several "open to below" rooms very similar to my home now. What is the best way to build this type of floorplan? Should I create the first floor with all the room set with a ceiling height of 12-feet and then build the second floor and select and create the spaces that I want to "open to below", or should I create the first floor plan with the spaces that I want a 24-foot ceiling on the first floor plan? My thought on this is that if I create the high ceiling areas on the first floor the framing material will be 24-foot continuous, and if I create a second floor that is "open to below" the framing material might call out 12-feet upon 12-feet to get the desired height. Furthermore every time I change a exterior wall on the 24-foot areas, the first floor will show finished drywall as well as the exterior of the second floor. If I change the second floor exterior to a exterior siding, it changes the first floor drywall to exterior siding. There must be a simple answer to this problem.
The best way to do this is to start on your first floor and then specify what areas you want to be open below on the second floor. Here is an article that goes over that process step by step: www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00078/creating-an-open-below-room.html
You can customize the thickness of both interior and exterior walls. Here is an article that goes through the process step by step: www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02944/defining-a-new-wall-type.html
