lbuttery Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Then learn about Annotation Sets. Absolutely key to using Chief effectively Larry: layers and layersets yes... annosets can wait until its time to create cd's on layout many other things to learn first, such as roofs, terrain, etc Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcaffee Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Keith, come across the bridge, where these days everything is some kind of Craftsman knock-off--easy-peasy. One set of defaults/template fits all. Seriously though Opie (OP), learn default setups and drawing in clockwise rotation. jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Then learn about Annotation Sets. Absolutely key to using Chief effectively Larry: layers and layersets yes... annosets can wait until its time to create cd's on layout many other things to learn first, such as roofs, terrain, etc Lew I don't think we should argue the correct order Lew. The idea of any suggestion is that it is just that, a suggestion. I couldn't proceed without Anno Sets but then again I was creating actual working drawings not playing with Chief to learn basic house models. For someone else it might make sense to never learn Anno Sets. So take each suggestion as an idea and a place to start not some absolute method that must be followed and learn Chief in a way that works for you.

HumbleChief Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 ...and drawing in clockwise rotation. I don't think that's needed anymore. I think Chief knows the exterior layers in the later versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny as it's a joke with an architect I work with down there and ALL my clients. Whenever I talk to them about a trip to N. Virginia, for example to look at something at Smoot, they look at me like I asked for them to take a trip to Antarctica........ by canoe. It's like, "yes, there is dry land over there....seriously" If it were me living in NW, I'd way rather have the moat on the "other" side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already, Chief Architect is easier to use than Archicad was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
