winterdd Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 When does Chief plan to release X16? Isn't the beta version usually released this time of the year? Nothing more than curiousity as I plan to finally upgrade from X13 in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of new car smells, with bells and whistles too.

Waiting until the last of December and ordering a new dell Alienware and upgrading then then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerMaster86 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I have been wondering about the X16 beta testing myself. Usually they send out invitations for people to join the private beta testing this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, thats a pretty bad version to set just the way you want it since you aren't taking advantage of linked callouts and relink views as well as a few other features that completely changed my templates for faster sets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerMaster86 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I am now wondering if they have started the beta testing yet for X16. Some years in the past they were already releasing sneak preview videos to the public of the next release by now. I have an active project for my employer that would be great to try out in X16. Hopefully something will happen soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottharris Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 The beta of X16 is projected to begin in the later part of Q1 (this is the private by invitation portion of the beta). We have been working on a variety of projects during this release cycle and I think you will find a few surprises and enhanced productivity tools for your design efficiency, like…. 3D dimensions. More to come as we get closer. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open back stairs with closed risers. Independant tread overhang on front and sides Waterfall stair profile for concrete stairs. Auto change material for concrete stairs. Ability to set up run and rise parameters to match building code (min and max run and min and max rise) Ability to set up tread depth default. Abilty to set up stringer size as a lumber size (2 x10 or 2 x 12 for example) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the other new features are appreciated… X16 will probably follow the path of most other upgrades and include some amazing features that will help improve work flow and others that no one has ever 'suggested' or wanted (too many for me personally to list) but may prove to be useful. As usual hope is high and expectations low... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthd97 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I think it would be great to have more customisation for common stair types but you have to draw the line somewhere. With a highly radical stair design, you are probably better off creating it by some other means ? Let’s face it, you can’t create every stair type out there with the main function in the program.

Concrete stairs are neither radical nor new. They are common and used, perhaps on more than half of all projects in one place or another. CA made a great step in making a railing wall that would follow stairs allowing for great flexibility in railing styles. Unfortunately some common stairs can't be done at all using the stair tool. One example is stairs like this 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
