Hey everyone,
I'm a High School technology teacher and I teach an architecture course. I've been using chief architect for over a decade and we build models using foam core based on plan prints. In order to create our roofs, we used to use the print model feature.
Well unfortunately my superiors had the bright idea to update our software (which I did not approve of because I knew what would happen) and the print model feature is no longer available on the newer versions of chief architect. I tried chatgpt and according to AI, there doesn't seem to be a simple way to print the roof planes properly. This is to make a model, not to just print plans, so while Chat lead me to believe there is a way to bypass this issue, the roof planes did not actually provide us with an accurate pitch. Just a top view, like an orthographic, nothing that provides a true size.
Is there a way to make a 3D model without using a 3D printer? I don't have a 3D printer, but even if I were to purchase one, I have 24 students and printing the roof for each student would take forever and seems costly. How can I get students to construct their roof without the print model feature? Thanks in advance!
Andrew
