Chief Architect has a new 3D Viewer product that is a virtual reality viewer on mobile devices for 3D models exported from Chief Architect software. It is currently in Beta and expected to be released near the end of June. The product will be a free app and run under Apple iOS and Android.
Here's a brief video showing our Breckenridge sample plan exported to the 3D Viewer
More information is on the website and under the announcement post.

I want to know if it is possible to import plan made in "Home Designer Interiors" in to "Chief Architect Interior"
Is it possible to create layout ( walls, doors, windows ) structure of the house in Home Designer Interiors & then zip project & import in to different machine which is running "Chief Architect Interior"
...
How do you guys compare "RoomPlanner" vs "Home Designer Interior" for achieving above goal.
Yes, you can import files from Home Designer Interiors to Chief Architect Interiors.
With Room Planner, you can import walls, doors and windows into Chief Architect Interiors. It does not import items like furniture, cabinets or materials. Room Planner is mainly targeted to get as-built measurements for remodeling

Joe and Others,
You can continue to expect great content included at no charge with SSA. Some content for the government and special uses may have a charge - like Medical/Dental & Crime Scene and Fire Investigation; catalogs not related to residential design.

Here’s an example you can find in the Breckenridge sample plan set. The 2D ceiling view is with specific layers on. The 3D view, is pointing the camera directly upward.

Larry, when you do it, check your anno sets

Spell Check works fine in my environment with CAPS. I would not necessarily use the trackpad 100% in designing personally. I have a magic mouse and usually have external monitors for projects I spend more than 30 minutes on.

I have both a Macbook Pro 15" and PC laptop. Hands down the mac laptop is the best - mainly due to the track pad. I doc with both thunderbolt displays ($$) and run of the mill displays (more affordable). Both work great. I swap files between the Mac/PC all the time. If I used the laptop much w/o external displays I would go with the Mac (but they are about 2x more $). However, since I run with external monitors most of the time I use the PC (comfort factor).

It looks like your Lat/Long might be off for Boston. I used these numbers in the Sun Angle line (in addition to the north pointer) @ 7pm and did not generate a shadow.
Boston: 42º 35' N, 71º 05' W

Can you post images or the plan?

There is a remodeling video that shows using a mask and layers (for visual and the materials list). Skip to around 17:30 to see it.

Fun2Learn, the reception is open to customers and those who are interested in Chief Architect. It would be a good chance to meet other Chief users from the area and learn more about Chief Architect Software.

Using the custom backsplash tool should work for this case

Alan, these are solved in X8 now (due out in Q1)

Greg, X8 is due out in Q1. The feature list, which is significant for the new release, should be out in a few weeks.

I think you can configure some of the Disto devices to round up. If you are having an issue with ceiling height, please reach out to support – it worked fine for us, but, we would like to track that down.

I have a Lenovo similar to yours with an NVIDIA card; I went into the NVIDIA control panel and added Chief Architect as a program to default to the NVIDIA card. The laptop does not always switch as you might think it would, so telling it to use a specific card may solve your problem. If not, please contact our support group.
