A CAD-to-Walls tool imports AutoCAD® files and provides mapping for layers so you can quickly see the model in 3D. Quickly manipulate objects with multiple copies, align, reflect, and replicate at specific intervals. It 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. 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. Advanced rendering provides both Photo Realistic and Artistic styles such as Line Drawing and Watercolor. With the Architect, you can design in any view for seamless and simultaneous editing between 2D & 3D. 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.Īs you draw walls, the program automatically creates a 3D model and supports full 3D editing. My main question though is can we upload a picture or the vanity or add it into the catalog somehow so I will have the exact vanity I have used in all my hand rendered drawings? I just do not know what to do at this point and help would be appreciated! I am basically teaching myself how to do all this.It uses smart design objects, such as cabinets, to quickly and easily create various styles, shapes, and sizes. But maybe I'm just not looking in the right place. There doesn't seem to be many options on vanities. But, my issue is I was looking for a vanity that was at least close to the one I have picked out for my design. I have the walls finished and was adding my fixtures. So far I have half way finished my first floor plan. I want to at least be able to present one of my rooms on Chief. So, I started really messing with it last week. That is something that even if you are the best at hand rendering a 3D plan just looks more real in chief.

Their plans, 3D's and elevations look so good.

But, everyone else in my class is using chief. We are 5 weeks into the semester and so far I had hand rendered everything. This summer I am taking Kitchen & Bath Design. I downloaded a bunch of catalogs basically almost every single one is downloaded. I just downloaded the student version a few weeks ago and have only had little time to familiarize myself with it.

Hi everyone! I am new to Chief and a student of Environmental Design.
