anamariadesigns Posted Wednesday at 10:05 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:05 PM Hi Chief Architect Community Team, Hi everyone, I’m looking for some help creating a Chief Architect file from existing plans. I already have a CAD file and a schematic plan generated through Matterport, but I’m having trouble getting the data imported correctly into Chief Architect so that I can begin working on the design. Ideally, I’d like someone who can help me create a clean, ready-to-use Chief Architect file with accurate walls, windows, and general structure already in place — so that I can easily jump in and start editing, designing, and making modifications from there. I have exterior, First floor and Second Floor. If you have experience converting Matterport schematic floor plans and CAD files into Chief Architect format, please reach out! I can provide the files and any other reference materials needed. Thank you in advance for your help! — Ana Maria 0_THE STUMPO RESIDENCE (1).dwg 0_THE STUMPO RESIDENCE (2).dwg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-CAD Posted Thursday at 02:22 AM Share Posted Thursday at 02:22 AM Use the files to trace the walls into chief. The two files seem the same........ How tall are the ceilings? what is the finished floor to floor height to confirm the stairs? Some of the walls range from 12" thick to 19" thick........... Someone will come along and send you a private message to discuss how much money they will need to solve this for you. There are many questions and unknowns so it could get expensive. Just putting a nice roof line on this (12:12 stick framed) will be challenging. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

para-CAD Posted Sunday at 12:44 AM Share Posted Sunday at 12:44 AM I guess what I’m saying is you have not provided enough information for someone to accurately build this. You need to have elevations that show the height of things, if the stairs are drawn correctly then you can at least assume that each riser is somewhere between 7 inches and seven and three-quarter inches so you might be able to figure out floor to floor height. Ask Dan Baumann directly. He’s pretty good. The regulars that come in here offering their services to every single posting seem desperate to me. Now I’m waiting for my red down thumb icon. good luck 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We pull remodel plans from our Matterport scans in the normal course of our remodel business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
