Chief Architect Premiere is the best software for all aspects of
residential and light commercial design. As you draw walls and place
smart architectural objects like doors and windows, the program creates a
3D model, generates a Materials List, and with the use of powerful
building tools, helps produce Construction Documents with Site Plans,
Framing Plans, Section Details, and Elevations.
—>FEATURES:<—
Building & Design Tools
Use powerful building and drafting tools to quickly create plans
according to standard building practices and make the design process
efficient and productive. Automatic and Manual Building tools allow you
to create a variety of Roof styles, Stairs, Framing – both stick and
truss, Schedules and Materials Lists for Cut, Buy and Estimating,
Dimensioning, Cross-Sections, Elevations and CAD tools. .
Kitchen, Bath & Interior Design
Chief Architect uses smart design objects, such as cabinets, to quickly
and easily create various styles, shapes and sizes. Chief Architect
partners with specific manufacturers (cabinets, appliances, doors,
windows, countertops and flooring) so that styles, finishes and other
product-specific design details can be accurately drawn and rendered.
3D Design and Modeling Tools
As you draw walls, the program automatically creates a 3D model and
supports full 3D editing. With Chief Architect, you can design in any
view for seamless and simultaneous editing between 2D & 3D. Advanced
rendering provides both Photo Realistic and Artistic styles such as
Line Drawing and Watercolor. An extensive 3D Library of architectural
objects and tools make it easy to detail and accessorize your designs so
that styles, finishes and other product-specific design details can be
accurately rendered.
CAD Tools for Productivity & Precision
Chief Architect has a powerful CAD software engine that includes tools
for lines, polylines, splines, arcs and solids to produce objects that
range from custom entry columns to a deck ledger detail. Quickly
manipulate objects with multiple copy, align, reflect and replicate at
specific intervals. A CAD-to-Walls tool imports AutoCAD® files and
provides mapping for layers so you can quickly see the model in 3D. Draw
custom CAD details, import as DWG/DXF/PDF, or choose from over 500 CAD
details built into Chief Architect.
Plans Sets & Construction Drawings
3D renderings and virtual tours help you sell the project and
construction drawings help you specify, permit and build. All views in
your project – Floor Plans, Framing, Electrical, Section Details and
Elevations have a user defined scale and link to a specific drawing that
updates as your design changes. Layers control what displays for each
of the drawing pages to help create professional detailed construction
drawings.
Site Planning, Terrain, Decks & Landscaping
Create site plans for single or multiple lots. Import terrain survey
data or create with the Terrain Modeling tools – terrain data can then
be used for a 2D site plan or viewed in 3D to show the specific
topology. Road, Sidewalk, Hill and Valley tools provide added detail.
For Landscaping, there’s over 4,000 plants with detailed information
about each plant including integrated Hardiness Zone Maps. Define a
North pointer and seasonal settings for shadow effects and overlays.
Decking tools include automatic and manual deck framing; customize deck
planking and materials.
