mrscott Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Thanks RR. It totally unlike me to go off the deep end. Just goes to show how bad it can be when one feels helpless and ignored. My apologies to all of you good people. The fact so many commented some positive and some negative goes to show how much You care and relate. As I said, I don’t hate the program. I just wish I knew then what I know now what Options I have and would’nt even be here. Chief has some pretty nice features it’s just too bad it’s not as complete as others so I’m off to new platform. If anyone is interested in what I am seeing that is not here. Drop me a private msg and I can arrange to send you a video that will blow your minds. Whether you have 1 or as Perry said 4000+ plans, you don’t know what you’re missing. cheers and success to all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all for presentation to land the job to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark3D Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 also opens good in cinema 4d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Update. Sent them 3D dwg , a DAE, and another 3DS set to legacy. All but the 3DS worked-they tried Rhino and 3DMax (several versions). I then took the 3DS, opened it in TurboCad and did a save as and added options-"Preserve loaded 3DS materials, and "Save Keyframe". Just heard back that they could open that but that "some of the normals were reversed" (which I don't know what that means) So oddly Chiefs export of 3DS doesn't work properly in 3DMax? Thought CA used 3DMax for symbols? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
