Are you aware that Chief has a "Samples Gallery" where you can download Projects including the PDFs.....  you would need the Trial Version to Open the plans though.

I had seen the gallery but missed that there are full PDF sets. That is very interesting indeed. Thank you.

Thank you all for the insightful replies and great examples of your work.

those of you who posted your own “modernist” works, it would be really intersting to see the Construction document sheets, just to get a feel for the overall look of the graphics?

Hi everyone.

I am looking into getting Chief Architect for architectural design and documentation. I am an Architect based in Scandinavia.  The software seems easy to use for the purpose. 

However, all of the examples I see on the website and on the forum show architecture that seems to be common in North America. In Northern Europe, architecture has quite different aesthetics. I am in no way saying that one is better than the other, just different. Here, buildings are usually simpler in form, with simpler roof forms (often flat)  and windows with less divisions (mullions) . Interiors are also generally more minimalistic and  furniture choice is different.

Does anyone here have experience using Chief Architect in a European context? Are the libraries and tools so geared towards North America that it becomes a hindrance?

P.s. Images show an example of the Norhern European style i am referring to.
