Nice job team! just what i wanted this christmas
Glad you liked it! Don't forget to subscribe to the Chief Architect UA-cam Channel for more!😀
Great video just what I needed. Are all of these features available on Home Designer Pro
@@patrick-resendiz There will be some tools and features that are also available in Home Designer Pro, but options like Terrain Elevation Labels and Automatic Plan Footprint tool are not. Here is a detailed comparison of the programs: cloud-hd.chiefarchitect.com/1/pdf//product-info/compare-chief-architect-to-home-designer-pro.pdf
Scott should use Thumbnails that represent more of what he is about to demonstrate.
Nicely shown! Great master class. Is there a link to the video to import plat survey and trace (like you mentioned in your video)?
Yes, here is a link to the video: ua-cam.com/video/9tgouTr6ZEM/v-deo.html
@@ChiefArchitectThanks so much!
This is amazing IF you have the Premier edition. What about those of us Home Enthusiasts with the Architectural edition. While you can do some of this, the terrain perimeter is VERY clunky and wont snap to just any dimension like you show here, so it is nearly impossible to trace a real life terrain that isn't just a square box :(
Thank you for reaching out, Steve! Feel free to reach out to our sales team regarding upgrade options. We want to find the program that will best fit your needs! 😃 You can call us at 208-292-3400 Monday - Friday from 7 AM - 4 PM Pacific.
@ChiefArchitect Thank you for responding. I was on the Architectural 2022 edition. I just upgraded to Pro 2024. Hoping this fixes the issues as retaining walls were not working at all in the old version :(
@@ChiefArchitect Another suggestion would be to tag each of your videos with which edition and version it is relevant to. It looks like you default to the most expensive Premier version that few home owners can afford. It is then not clear exactly what we are getting in the cheaper Home Owner editions...
Quick question, I've been using chief for about a month now and I love it. My computer seems a bit slow at handling the 3D portion of it and painting materials in a room can be a painful task as the computer struggles to keep up. I am thinking of building a new computer or replacing components of mine. Are there specific graphics cards or specs that are recommended to make the program run fast?
Yes, below are links to resources regarding this:

Hi CA
What is the best way to draw to 2 houses seperately on the same terrain/site. I find that if you do a roof, then the program assumes the same roof for both houses.
I want to make seperate distinct roof designs for both homes.
Thanks
You would need to use the manual roof tools in this particular case.
When I switch to plot plan view, I do not get anything like you show at :53. I just get an outline of the floor plan. How do you enable those Proposed Residence blocks?
By default those layers would be turned off. However you can turn them on within the active layer display options.
@@ChiefArchitect What is the layer name?
What version of Chief he is using, because am using a 2022 version and when I get to cad settings I don't see the same features?
Chief Architect Premier is bring used. For all of the latest tools/features feel free to reach out to our sales team for upgrade options. You can call us at 208-292-3400 Monday - Friday from 7 AM - 4 PM Pacific.
