This bootcamp is by far the best intro to CA I've found. It solved a lot of challenges I had with designing a floor and a half home with gable roofs. Thanks for making these!

[@ChiefArchitect]

Great! Glad you found it helpful!

[@donnaperras5821]

I am so Happy that I found your Boot Camp!

[@uplife7024]

My dad and I have been looking for this program for DECADES. We used to have 3D home architect and could never find something similar. Until today. 🥰 suggestion: add gym equipment to the library 🥰

[@ChiefArchitect]

We actually do have some gym equipment available in our 3D Library. Here is the link: www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/detail/697

Hello, Thanks for the good presentation and demonstration of the use of the software. I'm using a Home Design Pro 2021, but in the layout section, I do not see any options to have multiple pages, even not having the icon on the toolbar, I got only the "File management, resources, project setup, layout without the pages up/down. Why I don't see/have the other options that I saw on yours to create the complete construction/files documents? Can you help me with it, please? thank you.

[@ChiefArchitect]

Thank you for reaching out. Multiple layout pages was not available for that version, but is available in 2023. Feel free to reach out to our sales team for upgrade pricing. You can call us at 208-292-3400 Monday - Friday from 7 AM - 4 PM Pacific.

Has anyone tried using these plans with builders source precut lumber system?

[@gilbertleung6641]

I use both a Mac and a PC. How does CA differ between the two OSes? Perhaps a more direct question is which version your UX designers tend to use more? Also, would a touchscreen be useful for certain features?

[@ChiefArchitect]

Thank you for reaching out, Gilbert. We provide you with the Mac and Windows download when you purchase the software. Most people use Windows but we have several Mac users too! The user interface will be the same regardless of the computer you choose. You can certainly use touchscreen features if you would like.

[@MrMacudono]

when I built the stairs to front porch they did not land on the platform at same elevation as yours- not sure if same rise- but should be automatic?

[@ChiefArchitect]

This should be automatic. I would recommend reaching out to our Technical Support team to look into the problem further. Our support team has a lot of knowledge in this area and can help you troubleshoot this issue. Technical Support can be reached at 208-292-3399 Monday - Friday from 7 AM - 4 PM Pacific.

[@AA-bc4fr]

Omg. Your tutorials are amazing. Before I buy the $99 one, I need a new computer. Any suggestions for best os?

[@ChiefArchitect]

Hello. Thank you for your interest in Chief Architect. There is not a specific computer we recommend but we do suggest gaming computers with the 8 GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3000 or 2000 series video card. If you find a computer you like, feel free to email us a link to the computer's specifications and we can review it before you purchase. [e-mail] is where you can email it to.
