  13. Hello all you Chief Experts. I am trying to built a custom deck panel for a deck design. What comes with Chief is not what the customer wants. Support suggests that I build it in Chief, but I already built it in Sketchup, including the entire assembly, I could export/import as a CAD object or CAD, but I I want the quickest way, the has a lot of parts and I want it very specific to the design. I have attached a PDF from (Sketchup) Layout. Thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated. I am using Chief X6 on a PC 64 Dual Quad Eric Breuer Decoration Arts 707-514-7278
  14. The file didn't load the first time, hopefully this will.
  15. I created a dormer roof with a 3.75 pitch. All works well except that the wall adjoining the roof doesn't stay flush. When I make it flush, it goes through the roof. What am I missing from the dialog box? I am using Chief Architect X6 on a dual core Windows 7.

  19. Sketchup by Trimble 2014 Pro has many more files to save as. My suggestion would be to save as a 3DS. My experience is it is the most recognizable. for Chief X6. If you do not have Sketchup Pro, yo may download it for a trial period.
