The forum is definitely a close 3rd but IMO should serve as more of a supplement and clarification source than as a main learning tool.although, you will of course also pick up value tips and tricks from the forum that you can't find anywhere else which gives the forum a unique value all its own. I've kinda done both and I have to say the best things I've learned that have proven to be the strongest foundation and best reference were things I learned from the Users Guide at the very beginning and things I've read in the Help files when I have questions. I'd also add one more note.You will likely learn substantially faster and more efficiently by studying, taking training classes, hiring a tutor, and/or watching tutorial videos than you will winging it and just using the forum. The Users Guide is really a valuable resource and is probably worth going through, and the Help files are invaluable as well. If you don't fully understand something you're just going to continually get hung up on it later and it will likely affect your understanding of other processes as well.
I totally agree with David.Study things till you really grasp them. Its really easy to get started but can take a substantial amount of time to master. In general I think the guys above have about covered it.

Totally depends on what exactly you need to do with it, how much you care about the little details, whether or not you will be using other software, what design processes or software you're accustomed to, your individual techniques and tendencies, your design and/or construction experience, your expectations in general as to what a 3D design software should do for you, etc. I'd say right between 1 and 10.and I'm not kidding. How difficult is it to learn Chief on a scale of 1 to 10? Id recommend any new user to focus their attention to learning how Chief handles rooms and the default settings that control those rooms. A basic straightforward home in Chief isn't going to cause you any issues and Chief is certainly the fastest app on the market for that type of work. Actually a lot of the comments above are relative to the complexity of your projects. Thanks to all who have been willing to give me advice!įor MOST basic tasks Chief is unbeatable in its speed and simplicity. I have only been part of this forum for one week and it is an outstanding resource. For years, I would design homes in the old 3D Home Architect Deluxe and then hand off the floor plan and elevations to a local draftsman to create a simple set of "Builders Plans" (floor plan, foundation plan, elevations, and one cross section). I have a 15 year background in construction management. Being able to perform the more complicated tasks is what drove my question. I fully understand that the complex tasks would take quite some time to learn. However, I have been doing the most basic tasks.

I have downloaded the trial version and have found it to be relatively simple to use.

Pay a professional to do your "Builder Plans", and spend you time operating your core business, whatever that might be.Ĭhief Architect is definitely not an amateur CAD software. if it's not your profession to produce "Builder Plans" as you core business, then it's not worth you time and effort. I am not sure it would be worth it for someone thats not in the profession who just want to draft 1 or 2 builder plans a year to invest the time to learn CA. So it'll be well worth the time you invest in CA, once you've reach the skill level to " draft sets of "Builder Plans" "īy far the best "Builder Plans" (floor plan, elevations, foundation plan, and a cross section) CAD software on the market.
if theres a Level 1 easy out there, i sure would like be interested. i dont think theres a level 1 Easy to do what we do. all them are still will have the level 10 Difficulty to it. i tried other apps in the "Builder Plans" market. i say this because i started with 0 knowledge of CA.
