Hi! I used Chief Architect extensively in 2004 and modeled my whole house in an older version. I have the old Chief Architect .pl1 files and I'm trying to get them to show in the 3D Viewer from Chief Architect, to no avail. Would also love to export them into SketchUp or other tools for sharing with contractors who prefer those tools. I hear I need to get someone with x8 or earlier to open and save as a .plan file which is the newer plan type. The attached zip files have .pl1 and .dxf files, and some other .pl0, .pl2, etc. files, along with the .jpgs for materials I created. One set was from Chief Architect, and the BH&G file is from a Better Homes & Garden version of the Chief Architect software (supported by same company as I understand it, at least at the time). Would love your help - thank you!
