GMRothChief Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Hi, I am an architect working for a residential design build company in Nashua, NH, specializing in remodeling. The company has Chief Architect X9. I would like to be able to find training that is intensive, teaches me everything I need to know to draw Architectural and Existing Condition Drawings, accurate renderings, manipulate grade, etc. and shows me the capabilities of Chief so I am using all it has to offer. (I need to set up the layers and wall types as a default, be able to cut sections, and manipulate things, etc.) Is there anyone near me willing to train me? Thanks!

DRAWZILLA Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Well, I'm still learning after 13 years. Good luck. I took a couple of classes when I started and that was enough to go with it. Everyone has their own way of doing the setup, and I know of no one that does it just like me and I can't work with anyone else's setup. It is fun though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kMoquin Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I don't know of any training offerings in the north-east. Here's a good place to start. They are done well. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I believe Chief usually offers training at the Northeast JLC show which is in March. Gives you time to get beyond beginner if that's where you are now? They're also offering training at IBS/KBIS in Orlando in January. I started with an online course from Chief and had the two employees I trained start that way. Granted our work is different but not by all that much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is perfect! I haven't come across this format yet, and the Master Chief Architect Course seems to be exactly what I need! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginetta Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Hi, I'm 5 minutes away from you. I was trying to get a CA user group going but there was little interest. I use X8 but would be glad to help get you going. No charge; but if you can show me how to import from sketchup we'll be even.
