  1. Thanks Phillip CA for that link. Kind regards, Dominic
  2. Hello all, I believe that the beta for v17 might be later than the May 1st webinar as the sales staff when asked on this past Friday they did not hear of when it was being released as of yet. So my guess is that it might be delayed. Usually they would know before hand of when it would be released. Sorry for the bad news, I hope that I maybe wrong. :-)
  3. Hello Franky, Yes that is correct that you cannot resell the software or transfer it. Please call CA for further details as I am not sure if they would buyback the software. ( I have a strong feeling that they do not buy back the software but please call them to see) Thanks,
  4. Hello TLC_VIT, You can no longer buy approved chief architect licenses any more from any CA user (the term user is an anyone that bought from CA in the past) and any you find online does not have CA approval as you can no longer transfer licenses between users as CA no longer allows this. You must buy (from CA) a subscription to use CA premier lineup. Please give them a call for further details. CA changed this in 2022/2023. Thanks
  5. Hello Gary, CA might release more info about X17 features at the IBS show in February 2025. Maybe see full release of X17 in 2nd quarter/3rd quarter 2025 is my best guess.
  6. Hello Michael, X16 has been quietly released. Why I say quietly is because it has not been officially released by chief by way of email or here in the forums. Normally they announce it here in the forums to make it official. But it does look like it on CA website. :-) and you can also download the full release as well. Chief Architect Congratulations on X16 release, I like all the features of X16. Thank you for making a great product. :-) Dominic
  7. Rene Rabbitt, You do an excellent job on rendering. I wonder as well, That would be great if that was all done in chief X16! = No outside rendering software. :-)
  8. Hello everyone, I talked with sales and they said that private beta has started in the middle of February and we should see (if no further issues found) public beta by late spring/early summer. I have not seen any updates on new features either. Sadly. Sales is very tight with sharing any info as of yet.
  9. Anytime I get that error code or warning it usually means your video card drivers are out of date. I had a three month old driver and had to replace or update my driver in order for CA X15 to work. CA any version can display that warning when your video card drivers are in need of updating.
  10. Hello Todd, Have you put on a roof as that may help with the light bleeding. I used to use CPU Raytracing before upgrading my computer anyway that should help by putting on a roof. That's what I did and that helped a little bit with light bleeding. Also have you let it render more that 100 passes? If I recall correctly you have to give it more time for the image to improve. Please let me know if that helped you. Thanks. Also enjoy your long three day weekend. :-) Dominic
  11. Heard the same thing but they may push it out if they find something wrong with the public beta as they want it to be perfect before they release to general public was told. Talked with sales last week and still have a release date for x15 sometime in the spring of 2023. Dominic
  12. Hello Levis, Yes, CA Interiors was discontinued when I asked CA about it last week they said "why not give them the full version of CA Premier for the price of $1,995/yr." So yes they no longer sell CA Interiors. Sorry for the bad news. Dominic
  13. Hello Frompok, CA does not allow reselling of a used license of home designer. Also due to license changes after Jan 9th 2023 (not before that date) You are not allowed to resell CA software anymore because of it going subscription. Dominic
  14. Thank you Dermot for the update on beta testing round 2. Looking forward to testing X15 soon. Dominic
