RodCole Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Version 2. From what I remember roofs did not come out until version 3. I used to use FastCAD 3D for roofs. I did not have any formal training, but I did buy a video from Chief that was done by Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a name I haven't heard in a long time; still have the book and discs in storage so I can pull them out and show the "kids" what life was like before cell phones and ipads. I used it for years instead of Autocad. Had both but preferred FastCAD. It was named appropriately. Started with its little brother EasyCAD when looking for something to use that met my needs more than Autocad did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJohnson Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Look on page 406 of this old "Network Edition" of PC magazine from 1994. 3D Home Architect was Chief's early consumer version. I bought my copy at WalMart for 10$$ PC Magazine 1994 Avon Catalog | Avon Brochure | Avon Campaign 17 2019 walmart ad | Target Red Card | Target Deal Days | Amazon Baby Registry | Amazon Prime Day 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes memories - FastCad + 386 with a 387 math coprocessor, and a 12" digitizer tablet worked well for me, until verison 9 of chief. I dabbled with a DataCad license and then a borrowed archicad license, and even bought soft plan; but with chief I was up and running in less than 2 weeks. I've kept looking, under the concept of the greener grass. Frankly, the improvements from version 9 are such that it would not be recognizable to me then, let alone what I could only imagine with version 2.
