Hi Cristina! In your camera settings, find the view clipper. It will cut off anything within a certain distance of the camera, allowing you to see past walls, etc that are in your way. You can adjust it to closer or farther, depending on what looks best for your scene.

So glad you found it, and it helped you!!

Hi there! It's been a while since I was in Coohom, but I believe what that means is that the exterior walls need to be connected somewhere to fully enclose the space. Even if there's not meant to be a wall in real life, the program will make you put one. If you need the space to be open, put the wall far away, out of camera. Does that make sense?

Thank you @cottagekeeper! All of the architectural modeling was done in Chief, then I rendered it in TwinMotion. :)

@@DesignerAnnilee Great work! Looking forward to the day when Chief will render this beautifully on a Mac.

@@cottagekeeper One of the things I love about Chief, they are always improving! Thanks again!

You can export your drawings from chief to a 2d DWG file that you can open and edit in any program that will read a DWG. You can also export the 3d model to a file such as a DAE that you can open in another software. The 3d model won't retain the individual objects like walls, door, and windows, but it will all be editable as general geometry. I'm glad you found Chief Architect, it's a great program! Good luck with your historic home!

I actually do have a course for beginners! I host it myself through my website. :)

That's great. I will surely have a look at it@@DesignerAnnilee

So glad to help! Thanks for the comment!

You're welcome! So glad it was helpful for you!

You're welcome!

This is the paid version. It's now called SketchUp Go, it's $119 per year. You will need at least that version for importing file types other than SKP and using custom materials. Thank you!

You're welcome! Hope it helps!

Thank you!

Thank you! To import items from Revit, you would first need to export from Redit as a 3d model file. Currently Chief Architect supports 3d file formats DWG, DXF, OBJ, 3DS, STL, SKP, DAE. To make the act as a door or window, go through the import process under File -> Import, then you can select from the options. By selecting the proper options, your new doors and windows will be properly placed into walls and will appear in the door & window dialogs and schedules.

@@DesignerAnnilee Thank you so much, I'll do that as soon I lay my hands on Chief. Thank you.

Hi Jalal! Thank you! I have the full pre recorded course, or I offer one on one training by the hour. You can take a look at my calendar and book a time convenient for you. Thank you! Https://DesignerAnnilee.com/training

This was done in TwimMotion. ☺️

@@DesignerAnnilee Thanks!

Hi Amy! Thanks so much! Please reach out to the instructor Sarah, and she will be happy to help you! sarah@loftdesign.org www.loftdesign.org/

Yes! I agree, more plants! You can find a lot of really good ones for free on the Sketchup Warehouse. Search 3dsky, Turbosquid and CGtrader for free and paid models. For the most realistic, you can look at the Quixel Megascans. Poliigon has great plants too. There's also Globe Plants, they look good, but I haven't personally used them yet. :)

I'm so glad it helped you!! Thank you so much for the comment!

Thank you! 😊

Hi Elizabeth! You can sign up for my course here designerannilee.com/courses/chief-architect-for-beginners/ Thank you!

The animations are rendered in Lumion. :)

My course is for beginners, and would be a great start on your way to certification!

Thank you so much!!

:)

Thank you!!

You're welcome!

@@DesignerAnnilee I hope i will built like this design someday..tq dear

Thank you!!

Which version of Sketchup are you using?

@@DesignerAnnilee I use sketchup 2020. I just figure it out today that using the plugin cleanup after importing solves the problem. Thank you

You're welcome!! <3

Thank you!

We did have to do that before, but the developers have updated the platform recently to allow for the whole project to be imported. It was a very exciting day for me when I discovered it, after trying for a year!

Omg!! That's a game changer

🤩

Thank you!

I'm so glad you like it! Thank you!

@@DesignerAnnilee I don’t just like it I love it...did you ever have a home in your mind and not able to see it in reality...this is my reality...now I have a picture to put to my home...so thank you for that

You can import the walls, but it can actually take more time because of all the other fixes you then have to do. It really depends on the complexity of the project.

Thank you!

Hi Bruno! Yes, HD Pro would be a good choice for you. Then, if you like the work, and start doing more, you can always upgrade later. :)

Thank you!!

I use several professional softwares to create my renderings. Are you a design professional?

Yes, Im landscape Architect Im using Chief Architect and Im curious how to make a great render.
