After I do these homes in CA maybe I will have a different impression. This is the first major project im doing in CA. The other architect who posted said "skittish". I was just interested to see another architect write the same thing.
My daftsman so far uses those words to describe CA. There is a learning curve needed so avoid elements in the program that it appears they couldn't fix. Dshall, I remember you working on something for me in a video that you had a fit with - and you couldnt understand why CA was acting that way. Really, thats what I am talking about and if I could bring more attention to it maybe Chief will fix it.

The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.
We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

I see this from both sides. I think that Chief is capable of providing equally nice elevations, and could get close to the development plot plan by utilizing individual plans turned into symbols.
Also, many problems in the model come from not having specifications for various objects set up correctly.
On the other hand, I have always thought a "work around" should be used "while" the issue in the program requiring it was "fixed". And, that "fixed" should not take new versions. New "versions" are for new features and added functionality.
Many disagree with this, including CA.Kind Regards,

One thing misleading is that these elevations are a very low res. here. These print lazer sharp, and I notice the images aren't a good representation.
Oddly, when I print 2D from CA its not as sharp as from other CAD apps. I know I am not the first person to say this.

I agree here, not professional looking at all (my personal opinion), never mind the 'jumping tool bars', reminds me of windows 3.1. The 'Welcome to Chief Architect' screen is the only thing I like concerning the interface...
Look at Corel PhotoShop, AutoCrap , these are great interfaces... Again, just my personal preference...

Icons
Yeah, look at Autocad 2012 - this is a nice looking interface that works well. I love the "ribbon" toolbars. I was gonig to make the same comment about Windows 3.1 - CA icons need a very bad update.

scotts videos can not help here, just for junior users! Scott has deleted the critique videos after he saw what i could do with chief. A woderfull work you posted i like it maan. "your accomplishment is more important than how u did it" quote djp
I thaught it was just a habbit exporting my drawings to autocad and plot it there. Half convinced in your arguement but c.a can handle a lot. It depends on the opperator.i Said a lot about cadding before in the forum(I get every thing in ca to make a detailed architectural and structural drawings. Finally i just like to export it to autocad just because i like to c it there. May be just a habit i developed before, but add nothing on it. "simply plotting from autocad is what i prefer" http://www.chieftalk.com/showthread....151#post445151). Thanks man u shut off the pudavidas and godzilla fans dirty fun. Creativity is what matters, not playing with tools and videos! Here we c it

Not only the ribbons (AutoCAD), but you can revert to the 'classic' menu. The customization of the toolbars is mind boggling. I love their 'quick properties' pop-up.
