I've had VW for several years, and while I think our drawings look fantastic, we've never tapped the 3-D side of it, nor it's rendering abilities. I've been seriously considering jumping ship to Chief Architect myself. Fix the dam program already.Ĭheck my website for the type of work I usually do and tell me if you think VW or Chief Architect is the way to go. He actually told me in the mail that he had to stop because the reports and schedules were too buggy. One of the VW techs emailed me a prototype house they were doing to showcase VW abilitis for doing a custom home with lots of reports and schedules. But I gotta say, why have all these fields and settings, if half of them don't show up in the reports correctly. I've been trying to do more interior shots for clients, and I've also been trying to add material and budgets lists.

From what I see so far, it's only limitations are it's lack of customizability for commercial work, and I hear that it's 2d line work is a little difficult when it comesto drawings a detail library. That, and the buggy reports and worksheets for materials lists is what's pushing my current review of Chief Architect. It takes me forever to get a decent kitchen interior done. It's truly amazing what some of those cheap cad programs can do for an interior or a deck.

I always like walking down the aisle at Staples and checking out the cheap cad software on the shelf.
