Chief Architect is a great tool for the Design professional to help the client see the project before construction begins. Often the most challenging issue with designing is communicating your ideas and helping the client visualize the finished project. Chief Architect enables the Designer to communicate and illustrate a 3D model of the project reducing frustrations, unknowns and uncertainties. Realistically design every detail of interiors and exteriors with customized cabinets, fixtures, furnishings and accessories – assign materials, colors, textures and more. Improve client communication with photo-realistic renderings, quickly incorporate changes and design for your client’s needs with Chief Architect software.

Chief Architecture X2 is the professional architectural design for the design of the home. And it is a great information about the chief architect, it would help me a lot for the design of my house. There are the best models of the kitchens and the bathrooms. It is the fabulous visualisation to help the client with the realistic idea.

can you help me ?

Links are dead. Can someone re-up Rapidshare, please?

Great post. Thanks.

edit: take note, previous scene releases of this software have Chief Architect Basic Content Libraries. And, I mean basic, very limited. Half this program's joy is in having a subscription to thousands of objects and symbols from building component manufacturers. Obviously, there would have to be some sort of package uploaded here that focuses on one type of item per package, such as a full Pella windows library for example, or a judicious selection from many types of house details in one package.

I believe it is possible however to use the program's CAD-like modeling to construct your own library content, such as a window, door, etc., which would OK, albeit a boatload of work. Maybe Sketchup's easier modeling could be tied in if there is a way to do a format translation to import the stuff to CA. Actually, you know, that's an idea that could work.

edit: OK, found this:

"Chief Architect allows you to import 3D symbols from outside sources in 3D .dwg, .dxf, .obj, .3ds, and .skp formats.""

As xerces-c_2_7.dll file is missing or corrupted, you need to get a new dll file. Here are the steps to replace xerces-c_2_7.dll file
Step 1. You can download missing xerces-c_2_7.dllhere:

http://dllcentral.com/xerces-c_2_7.dll/2.7/

Step 2. Paste this file into your system32 or SyWOW64 folder.

Step 3. Navigate to your System32(32Bit OS) or SyWOW64(64Bit OS) Folder.

Note: The location of System32 and SyWOW64 is

C:Windows\System32 (If you are using 32Bit Windows)
C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (if you are using 64Bit Windows)

Step 4. Paste the xerces-c_2_7.dll file into this folder.

Step 5. Try to run it. It might work now. If not, restart your computer to restore it effectively.
