Specific Manufacturer Catalog

[NewViewInfo]

I am trying to figure out how to download a specific catalog to use its materials. I am trying to get the Kirby Risk Lighting Fixtures into my X16 version of Chief Architect, as well as Engineered Floors materials. Any guidance on how to do that would be wonderful! Thanks!

Hi,

Try posting this in the General Q&A forum and you will get many more responses.  This forum is more of a collection of Symbols and Content.

Regarding your question.  I am assuming you are trying to use these manufacturer's products in your design?  

• Chief does not have a catalog available for download for Kirby Risk Lighting Fixtures or for Engineered Floors.  
• A manufacturer must have a downloadable 3d model in order for you to import it into Chief.  Neither of these manufacturers appears to offer 3d models of their products. 
• If a manufacturer does have 3d models you can import the items one at a time into your User Library in Chief.  (see attached screenshot)
• If you want a manufacturer to collaborate with Chief and include their products in a catalog in Chief, you can go directly to your rep and to the manufacturer and make a request.  
• There are several permanent threads in the Symbols and Content forum that discuss how to approach a manufacturer.  

Hope this helps.
