lbuttery Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 No, none of CA's products are accessible via the web or "cloud" you must install the software on your computer Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designers_Ink Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 You can access your computer remotely from another computer using software like Teamviewer. Basically, you would have the software on your office computer, then remote into that computer from a laptop or even your iPad or Android Tablet. I've even pulled it up my cell phone to look at stuff real quick. Obviously, it would not be optimal to design a home on your cell phone, but with a laptop, you can do anything you can on your office computer remotely. The images on the laptop are just just images of what your main computer is doing, so you can use the horsepower of your desktop computer to run the software, but have the convenience of the laptop to take with you to see clients. You just need a good internet connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 you could use the free RoomPlanner till you are home again perhaps if you need access on the road ...and you have an Ipad. http://roomplanner.chiefarchitect.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigiAKBD Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I can't get elevations to open when I remote into my work PC. Is there a way to correct this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_Park Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I can't get elevations to open when I remote into my work PC. Is there a way to correct this? The issue is that hardware accelerated OpenGL is disabled in Windows Remote Desktop software when you launch the program using Remote Desktop. If you can arrange to launch the program while Remote Desktop is not connected then it will work. This is a really odd limitation that Microsoft has put into the software that doesn't make any sense. At one point in the past I did this by writing a .bat file. I don't remember how I did that now. The other way to do this is to leave Chief running on the remote machine.

Designers_Ink Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I use Teamviewer to Remote into my computer. It is free for personal use and fairly cheap for commercial use. I haven't had any issues seeing anything on my remote desktop that I see on my computer desktop with this program. I've been using it for years. I also use it to remote into my mom and mother-in-law's computer to quickly troubleshoot issues they are having. It is much easier than explaining things over the phone. Great program.

juliatt Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Hi all, my 1st time here. Thank you all for your idea, T.Viewer truly is a great tool for Training purpose. I'm open & eager to learn CA (it fascinates me since 2003), but timely couldn't afford to begin (blessed enough being too busy to draw any line, I'm doing now residential development & renovation with friends in 1:1, per PS & quick hand sketch....). Need a full-time job with CA, but I don't know which companies are using CA, any help is appreciated. Happy New Year 2016!
