Thanks Scott for the info.

Am I missing it. Only addition lic. And upgrade to x8 from one of the other programs .

Where were the savings on ssa this year? only seeing upgrades (assuming the lower end products). New license,additional lic ect.

2017. Are we scheduled to see the release yet?

That works. But still have to resort back to plan view for locations. For initial set up.

Yup that works . But still need in elevation . Arghhh pain.

Yup. 15 to 20 pages(sheets) is the norm here in cali now. on and on and on. Now 2016 codes and compliance. Place is becoming its own friggin country.

Dude .......................................Jump. If it's what you love Jump..................... But hey i didn't say that...............lol

It's obvious.... isn't it?

Agreed . Either move on or don't quit whinning . People are acting like spoiled kids. Get over it.

Sry , already there scott

I think personally this seems to be an issue of what chief architect wants to do with the program. We all complain,say they need to catch up yada yada yada. its a great program for basic designs and typical work. The kitchen design part is great. They want to offer to builders,diy people and add a little for those that do con docs . Some Architects use chief , But chief doesn't use the standard that many are used to. And that's ok. They can become and market to whoever they want. Point is im having a hard time paying for ssa year after year,and then I have to deal with stuff like attic walls,callouts (which has been talked about over and over). I don't need to see a reflection from toilet paper rolls . I need decent graphical presentations, good con docs and phases (as- built,demo,and new) . No cad living in the background on some layer ect. So it'll be for some , not for others. btw I haven't seen anyone's suggestion on the forum come true.

Yup. Lt is what I use . Don't really need all the engineering part of it.

I use both. The big R is way easier for con docs , legends , keynotes, ect. Chief is way better at electrical plans ,ease of changing window styles ,cabs ect. Interesting to note. I do all kitchen work in chief . Export it as a dwg model to the big R and wa la .easy docs with views I want. Any one see that blasted rabbit yet?

Thanks joe.

Any one know if we will get full round stairs . Or are we still pulling that one out of library.

I'm sure I got a reputation here... lol . Wouldnt be the first time . You should have seen me at the job site back in the day.

Soft plan blows.... I know designers that use it. Render in soft plan (sucks) then render in chief. i have my gripes and groans with chief , but soft plan and archicad are really lame. Who wants to sit for hours adjusting this and that . It's just not productive. Unless you like sitting there for hours fiddling and messing with a project. now where's that blasted rabbit.

You can't import dwg in layout only plan.

Import into plan first, explode cad. Copy note. On layout open text dbx , paste ..... wa la.

True .

Well then cut it from the videos..... it's misleading to the public.

Can't seem to find that list Jena from the x9 sneak peak talks about . Can anybody point me to it?

Richard, join me is free also . Check it out.

What a nightmare in Archicad......... would have just used p solids.
