  1. Depends on what market niche you plan to focus on, imho.

     

    If you plan to do custom homes or remodeling mostly, go with Chief.

     

    If you want to focus on plans for production builders, then SP might be a better fit with its building options capabilities and accurate takeoffs.

     

     I bought chief for two main reasons.  One was the space planner so I could layout floor plan using bubble diagram.  And the big one was the ability to get the client to fill out their selection choices in the design phase by using chief’s extensive libraries.

  2. There must be a difference between HD Pro and X10 because I just highlight the line I want to move and only it moves, not the whole box.  I used the rectangle box to start with and arced one segment...

    I watched the aforementioned video and had no idea it could be so difficult.  ;)

    I did not know that you can't use the 1920 as a second monitor, so what you are saying is I have to buy 2 new 4k  monitors?

     

    I am just suggesting that you may want both monitors to be 4K after seeing the difference.

     

    Also, it took a little fooling with the settings to get the text and icons the way I wanted them... well worth the effort, imho.

  4. Thank you Ray.  I will pass on your compliment to my grandsons.

     

    $50 sounds like the price for 3D home Architect.  I remember passing that software out as Christmas presents.  I also remember giving it to a young couple who came to me to build their dream home... he wanted a ranch and she wanted a 2 story... they came back with a 1-1/2 story plan.

  5. Pinnacle3D, just to clarify... that was NOT my grandson's first attempt at drawing a house.  Him and his younger brother have been playing on my computers for a while now.  But, it is amazing how fast they pick stuff up at that age.
