autocad Import from Chief Architect
I currently use Chief Architect for my design work and have another guy draw up my construction docs and take care of the engineering for permitting.
To date he usually draws everything up from scratch. Not too big a deal. I'm the builder, so most details don't need to be perfect, mostly just the structural stuff.
I would like to save him from having to draw things from scratch though if I've already done most of the work. My questions is this...
Have any of you found a good method of successfully importing plans drawn up in Chief Architect in a usable form?
I've experimented with sending the 3D model a couple of times but it seems its not really usable. Too much information, or in a bad format, I don't know.
Chief Architect can export both dwg and dxf in 3D or 2D, but there are quite a few options, layer settings, line weight settings, etc that come into play.

Hi i am Hammons .In this website everything about autodesk autocad, Design, and Computer Graphics tutorials tips ! autocad tutorials,and plus ,you can get latest autocad software in my web shop .In this video tutorial i will show you the trick about autocad
True Google Sketchup is good, but if you want a true CAD software, go with AutoCAD, cause it's basically the foundation of most software and just look for tutorials on it.
