## Avaliações

### "Chief Atchitect" — 5.0/5

> **Tejshree** | *4 de março de 2023* | Organização cívica e social | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Vantagens**: With adding on features like attenders you can really walk into your home and have complete vision about it. My clients are really very happy after having a picture real view of their dreams
> 
> **Desvantagens**: Rendering needs very high and systems and that involves a good cost
> 
> Overall chief architect is not the best and easy to use software that I’ve ever use. It is very convenient and user-friendly.

### "Plans for clients and trades alike\!" — 5.0/5

> **Teresa** | *3 de maio de 2023* | Construção | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Vantagens**: I love that I can use one-floor plan to create everything I need to provide to the customers, the foreman, the trades, and the designers to be able to have concepts come to light. Notes, dimensions, and materials are all easily accessible in the program.
> 
> **Desvantagens**: There was a steep learning curve which I still don't feel that I have mastered completely. It works differently than other design programs I am accustomed to used and didn't feel like I naturally knew where tools were.
> 
> I can't imagine using any other program.

### "Do you have to release a new verion earch year?" — 3.0/5

> **Rachel** | *22 de julho de 2019* | Arquitetura e planejamento | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Vantagens**: It is a great software with a great many features.
> 
> **Desvantagens**: I don't like that major bugs and kinks are never ironed out of the software before the release of a new version. I wish they would fix what is broken first. Each new release for the past 3 years seems to be worse and worse....
> 
> In the X11 version, views glitch when I zoom in and out, window labels display 2 (") inches measurement symbols when the " use default formatting" box is checked, material regions work on occasion, curved roofs are very finicky. There are other issues as well but the list is too long for this comment box.

### "TOTALLY NON-INTUITIVE" — 5.0/5

> **Mark** | *23 de março de 2019* | Construção | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Vantagens**: As long as you want to do something already "canned" in the software, it's got some really sweet features.  The immediate 3D renderings are outstanding\!
> 
> **Desvantagens**: There's very little about the program that is intuitive to the way CAD has been traditionally taught.  And if you need to make an exception to what it "thinks is normal", OMG what a flippin' nightmare\!  IF you can get it to at all do what you want.&#10;&#10;The building of custom wall types: PITA\!&#10;I didn't want a footing, but piers for a pole barn: PITA\!\!\!  Not even possible to eliminate the footings\!&#10;Make a material change from sheet siding to lap board: PITA\!\!\!  Couldn't find a way to have it change ALL THE WALLS in 1 command.  It would only allow me to change ONE stinkin' wall at a time.  And THEN, I had to go back and do ALL of the gables, because gable walls aren't part of the walls of a house.
> 
> The speed of generating a 3D building for a client to see can be very quick, but the learning curve and the inherent limitations just made it not worth the effort.&#10;&#10;I spent 40+ hours trying to generate drawings for an existing house, while client made changes on the fly.  I couldn't overcome the learning curve or the limitations in a timely fashion and not only didn't get paid, but lost the client.

### "Definitely Chief \!\!\!" — 5.0/5

> **Dixon** | *31 de janeiro de 2020* | Bancos | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Vantagens**: Found the software easy to understand and use especially with the 3d vies available which can be seen in split screen beside the floorplan, also with the detailed QS breakdown, estimating materials needs accurately is a cinch.  The online tutorials and ideas will have you designing in no time
> 
> **Desvantagens**: With all software there is a bit of a learning curve especially with the rapid changes in versions which add substantial changes to the software in terms of materials and objects that can be utilised.
> 
> With Chief Architect, the system does most of the work for you so you can focus on the floorplan and even in the placement of objects in the rooms, the walkthrough view is also excellent for showing a client the finished project so there is buy-in for the proposed construction or remodel.  Landscaping is also easy as the Cadastral can be transferred into the plan allowing for accuracy in placing building on lot
