ddemart Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Our architect sent us the 3D view file. We'd like to use that to load into the Chiefs Architect Premier desktop app (using the trial software) to edit the interior and exterior finishes some. Is this possible?

Depending on the answer, then it might be possible. If your architect sent you a Chief ".plan" file, then yes, you should be able to open it in Chief and play around with it. Keep in mind that if you are just using the trial version, you won't be able to save any of the changes you make. You could also rent premier for a month or two and then you would be able to save your changes. You could also buy HD pro and then you should always be able to open the file as long as you like. If your architect sent you some kind of other 3D file format, then it might be something you could import into Chief. For example, if it is a 3D dwg, obj, 3ds, or skp file, then you could import it as a symbol. This would probably let you change the materials on things but not much more. You could also do things like put furniture in but it gets to be a bit tricky when you are trying to move furniture inside of a symbol because it won't snap or bump to other surfaces.
