DouglasC Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Hello everyone, I want to know who the top 10 Chief Architect users in the world are. Do you know any or are you one of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcaffee Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 What's your basis for "Top"? $$ volume? The number of plans produced? Design awards received? Etc., etc., etc. I would hazard a guess that most designers and architects don't define their aesthetic acumen by the toolset used. So, do you wish to rephrase? Be more specific.

aHughJassDude Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Is this Bob? https://www.youtube.com/user/dshall44 Learned a lot from this guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javatom Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 That would depend on how you measure their "use of the program". If simply "operating the program" is what you mean, I would think all 10 would be located in Coeur d'Alene Idaho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Chief Inc has no such official list of "top users" so anything else would be, by default opinion. I nominate Dan Bauman of Minnesota, USA, Glenn Woodward of Sydney, Australia. There are many others but perhaps we can create such a list here in this thread. My Amended List: Dan Baumann Chiefexperts.com Glen Woodward, Sydney, Austrailia David Michael of Chieftutor.com Michael (Alaskan Sun) Wasilla, Alaska Scott, D.S. Hall Architect of San Diego, CA. Joe Carrick Architect San Diego, CA Terry Munson USA https://www.amazon.com/Residential-Design-Using-Chief-Architect/dp/0692135936/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1533862093&sr=1-1 Cheryl Crane USA Wendy Welton, Architect USA Perry, Disneyland, CA., "where Pig's really fly".

ShaneK Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 There are many and your best bet is to use the program and when in trouble come to this forum and one of the top 10 power users will help. I see you are new and will need help in your learning experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javatom Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I might be more fun to identify the 10 worst users. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJohnson Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I would think someone like Dan Baumann who both; is adept at and teaches CA http://www.chiefexperts.com/public/100.cfm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge_Runner Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Don't forget Eric (Solver); I learn a lot from him also. Please, the rest of you who help so much, please don't be offended if your name is not mentioned. This was a dangerous question to ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaneK Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Alaskan Son & GlennW are the top in understanding the function of the program and the programing with in the software,,,,,,,,,, as far as understanding construction methods and actual building of a structure is another category all together. I have been building what I design in Chief since 1994 with version 2.0 so I understand construction methods and yet I see things on this forum that TERRIBLE in design criteria and they are skilled with Chief. It doesn't matter who is best because so many here with skills to help out others. Honorable Mentions are too long to list but,,,,,, Chopsaw, Solver, Joe Carrick, Dshall, Joey Martin, Wendy Welton, David Jefferson Potter, Ridge Runner, K-Bird, Jcafee, Yusef and many, many more. There are users world wide that are off the charts skilled!!!!! Join Facebook and join the Chief groups there and you will see how much talent and the capabilities of Chief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I have been using the program for some time (4+ years) I want to know more. I want to really know how to use the program so we can improve our production time. So again, Thank you. I see some on this list who are in my area so I will try to reach out to them for some instruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why thank you dahlink. yeah, I've become less of an innerweb person, started painting etc. But every once in awhile somebody pokes me and I come back here for a bit. Then I see squirrels and shiny things and wander off again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
