Before that I used AutoCAD for over 20 years. CA isn't alone here.Ĭomments: I have been using Chief Architect since 2015. Seems like every issue I have isn't in the index or table of contents, and I very much dislike being scooted to a webpage of issues and have to guess by their titles whether it might pertain to my problem. I will say that documentation could be better. For example you may expect to see a tool for doing some function nested within a group of similar functions, but it may be elsewhere.
CHIEF ARCHITECT LIBRARY CRANE SIDING SOFTWARE
It is very difficult to create software tools that are always "intuitive" no matter how you approach them.
Many of the problems I believed I had I've solved over time by looking for a solution that was right in front of me. This is a small problem and they probably have fixed it on more recent releases. There were times when I had to hide certain layers to determine that a specific piece of furniture was preventing the program from creating a 3D model, then modify the object or change it out, then replace the layer and try again. It's gone up in price since the old CA version 9.5 that I purchased, but I'm sure it will be worth the cost.Īs I said there are always glitches in software as complex as this. I'm considering getting the latest version. There have been some minor glitches with this software, but the autobackup feature prevents catastrophic loss. I can't say enough good things about my experience. It has delivered very good, if not photo-realistic renderings when using the raytrace feature, and I can go through the design and working drawing phases of a residence in a matter of ten days or so for a very custom design comprising 9 24" X 36" sheets.
It was easy to learn that is, I learned by trial and error and rarely going to see what others were doing on CA website.
I've used two versions of CA over the last 14 years.
