It sounds like what you need is a draftsperson since you already have designed and worked out what you want, I don't think you would benefit much from an architect, besides, it's going to be very difficult, but not impossible, to find some one that knows Chief Architect, since most architect and draftspeople tend to use either Autocad, Revit, or other more popular software. Perhaps someone can transfer the drawings to their software and work with you. I agree with you, I find Chief one of the best yet undiscovered software's out there. and I have tried and used all of them, including ArchiCad. I now use Chief exclusively for design and working drawings, very intuitive and great with finishes. Good Luck, Emilio p.s I am from your area, Woodland Hills.

Hello Gang; I have a project that I'm trying to create a roof ridge skylight but to no avail, the closest I came was to build a ridge mounted skylight in SketchUp and then import the model, but of course it doesn't create a hole in the roof or the ceiling, it just sits there. Has anyone had an opportunity to try to build this sort of Skylight in Chief? Is there a way around it without having to do the ole' SketchUp trick? Is there a way to customize a skylight in Chief to achieve this type of result? Please let me know, I've been racking my brain for days.
