Hi everyone,

I am an interior designer working in Sydney Australia.

I would like to connect with an Australian Chief User to help me with areas of Chief I can't get my head around.

I have been using Chief Architect for many years and can create basic roofs.

I am having problems adding multiple gable and flat  rooves to a drawing I am working on.

I would prefer to work with a person in  Australia  as the currency exchange rate from Aus to American dollars is 35% more.

thanks,

Cherel

Hi everyone,

I would love to know what everyone uses when they do an onsite measure electronically with a Leica blue tooth measure.

Is it time saving or just complicated.. 

I would love to load up my ipad with a package that I can import into Chief X10  .

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks!

That could be why... I used some poetic licence to create what I wanted so I could I have probably corrupted it.

thanks for your help

much appreciated!

thanks for your reply .. I did reboot but still in slow motion.. 

I have loaded this design up with imported textures.. 

I might need to upgrade my system to cope.

Wondering if anyone could suggest  a  solution to why Chief is slowing down so much I can't even dimension as the pointer has a mind of it's own.

Could it be my graphics card  or  is it the I uploaded the new 3d symbols.

Has anyone else had this problem?

thanks,

Cherel

Hi everyone!

I am trying to create a spline curve in an base cabinet not sure how..

Would anyone have a solution to create  this beautiful curve?

Would you still be able to create 3d views ?

Hi Everyone,

I have woken up this morning with so many responses!!! Thanks to everyone for their suggestions!!!!

I am an interior designer I have worked with Chief for many years but haven't mastered it yet.

You have all inspired me to work on my skills..

Thank you!

Have a great day!!

Cherel

Thanks dshall,

I do need the 3d view to sell the concept.. I am working on the different views now, using  the new X10 Save Plan View feature .. looks promising!

I will follow up when I am finished!

thank you!!!

Hi Glenn,

If you are just doing kitchens and not getting into structure or layout of the remainder of the house, I don't see any reason why you could not have two kitchens side by side or even a second structure in the same plan maybe 60' apart representing the neighbors house.

Not easy because even if you put one set of cabinets on a different layer and turn that layer off, Chief still recognizes that the cabinets are there and doesn't allow you to place other cabinets in the same place.

Welcome Cherel.

 

Please take a minute to fill out your signature (see mine for an example) by clicking on your user name at the top right of the page, click Account Settings, then Signature on the left. 

 

This info helps others help you.

Your version of Chief (X9, X10) (Premier, Interiors) is the important info.

 

Make sure you turn on View Signatures too.

 

 

Thanks Joe,

Do you think that it is best take a copy of the plan rename it and make the changes and create a different Layand the 

Is it possible to Create different kitchen designs within the same project.

I usually copy the plan and rename it and change the interior design layout so that I have to completely different plans..

Is there an easier way to create more that one design within each project..

Many thanks for any suggestions..
