Hello, Thank you for your interest in Chief Architect and for posting your question. Chief Architect Software is only in the English language and there is not a pack available to translate to other languages that I am aware of. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. My email is derek@chiefarchitect.com Kind regards, Derek Chief Architect Sales

All current Chief Architect products support Windows 10. It's listed on our system requirements page.

The Chief Architect website became slow this morning. Chief Architect the program should have launched for you, but, there may have been a ~30 second delay while the program tried to contact the website. And, as Joe pointed out, disconnecting from the internet would have sped up the launch. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Room Planner 4.0 is now available for Android in the Google Play store. Here's the thread: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/5790-room-planner-40-is-now-available-for-android/

Are you looking for construction documents like this example? Riverstone Sample Plan

Hello, Thank you for the question. There is cross compatibility between Interiors and Premier as long as they are on the same version number. As was mentioned above, if something is created in Premier, and Interiors does not have the feature (such as framing or terrain), the Interiors version will treat it like a viewer. For example, you can view the framing or terrain but not edit it in the Interiors version. I hope this helps. Feel free to contact us in sales at 208-292-3400 or email sales@chiefarchitect.com Kind regards, Derek Chief Architect Sales

Hello, Thank you for posting about your X1 hardware lock. You mentioned in your post about the price for purchasing X7. I wanted to let you know that we still offer upgrade pricing for X1 and prior version directly from our sales department. The upgrade price saves you $700 versus buying a new license, so you are looking at a total of $1,995 versus $2,695. For a lower cost of entry, you may consider our software rental program. You can rent a license for $199 per month and start and stop the rental on an as needed basis. Or, you can "rent to own" by making 15 consecutive rental payments. Here is a link with information about our rental program. http://www.chiefarchitect.com/software-rental/ You can contact our sales department for more information at 208-292-3400 or email sales@chiefarchitect.com Kind regards, Derek Chief Architect Sales

Wow, great job! Thanks for sharing.

Coralie, not sure what is happening; I would suggest you contact our tech support group during business hours so they can help you.

Customize your own built-in bench within Chief Architect design software.

Hi John, As David stated, there are multiple titles--which is best for you depends on what you want to do. Do you want the 3D modeling capabilities so you can visualize your design (Essentials, Interiors, Suite, Architectural), or do you also want to create detailed construction documents showing the structural components of the project so you can create a detailed building plan (Professional, Chief Architect X7)? If you could take a few minutes to call our Sales Department we'd be happy to hear about your project and let you know which product(s) will do what you want. Our toll-free phone number is (800)482-4433. Thanks, Mark

Hello Bill, Thank you for the question. You are correct that we no longer sell the Lite version. We do not have a product between the Home Designer Pro and Chief Architect Premier other than Chief Architect Interiors. We do however have a software rental plan that is $199 per month. You can cancel at any time or if you pay the monthly rental for the full rental term of 15 months you then own the software license. You will find more information about the rental program by following this link. http://www.chiefarchitect.com/software-rental/ I hope this helps. Kind regards, Derek Chief Architect Sales
