Go All-Digital

Supporting the global environment we supply all software as digital downloads only. How can you participate?

We all can be part of the solution. Digital downloads are the "green" answer to demanding fewer resources for your computer's needs. What you get is software with an environmental footprint of zero while still staying up-to-date.

Digital downloads are one part of the larger trend in making our lives - both professional and personal - cleaner, more efficient, and better. Continue reading to see what else you can do to improve your green computing.

Limit screen-saver use. A screen saver does not save energy. In fact, more often than not, a screen saver not only will draw power for the monitor, but also will keep the CPU from shutting down. Instead, set your computer to turn off the monitor first, then go into standby mode after a longer period of inactivity.

Disconnect your Virtual Private Network (VPN) when not actively using your corporate network. Being connected may limit your system's ability to enter standby mode.

Many popular computer games and other third party software packages that run in the background will not allow the computer to go to sleep - even if they are paused or the active window is minimized.

Some web sites or pages that have active banners and or animated advertisements will not allow the computer to sleep on its own and must be closed, or the computer put manually into a sleep state.

Enabled power management to place your monitor, hard drives and computer into a low-power "sleep" mode after a period of inactivity.

Monitor/display sleep: Turn off after 15 minutes or less

Turn off hard drives/hard disk sleep: 15 minutes or less

System standby/sleep: After 30 minutes or less

Advanced users may wish to establish multiple power schemes to address different usage models. For example, you can create a power scheme for playing music CDs that shuts off your hard drive and monitor immediately, but never puts your system into standby mode.

To further reduce power consumption, turn off computing and peripheral devices that are not being used or being used for an extended period of time such as overnight.

Plug all your electronics into one surge protector, so you can easily switch them all off when you leave the room or go to sleep. Most power supplies (such as your cell phone charger) continue to draw power and generate heat even when not attached to a device.

Professional Home Design Software

Residential Home Design

For all aspects of residential and light commercial design. As you draw walls and place smart architectural objects like doors and windows, the program creates a 3D model, generates a Materials List, and with the use of powerful building tools, helps produce Construction Documents with Site Plans, Framing Plans, Section Details, and Elevations.

Kitchen, Bath & Interior Home Design

For kitchen, bath and interior renderings and virtual tours for interior design professionals. Help clients visualize with 3D, specify materials and produce Plan and Construction Drawings. Realistically design every detail in 2D, Elevation, or 3D perspective views. Select catalogs from a 3D Library with thousands of cabinets, appliances, furnishings and textures.

Building & Design Tools

Powerful building and drafting tools make the design process efficient and productive. Quickly create detailed plans according to standard building practices. Automatic and manual building tools allow you to create a variety of roof styles, stairs, framing — both stick and truss, schedules and materials lists for cut, buy and estimating, dimensioning, cross‑sections, and elevations.

Floor & Space Planning

Use Chief Architect for Space Planning by placing and sizing architectural objects in your design. You can choose from specific manufacturers (cabinets, appliances, doors, windows, countertops and flooring) so that styles, finishes and other product‑specific design details can be accurately scaled and represented. Choose or create custom objects (non-manufacturer) or import objects into your plans to accurately represent your designs.

Interior Design & Decorating

Chief Architect provides the best Interior Design Software for both 2D and 3D design and visualization. Design in 2D wall elevations, house plan views or in 3D. Choose from thousands of styles, colors, and materials to create realistic interiors from our 3D Library. Experiment with your interior design ideas using 3D models, virtual tours and advanced design tools.

3D Design & Modeling Tools

As you draw walls, the program automatically creates a 3D model and supports full 3D editing. With Chief Architect, you can design in any view for seamless and simultaneous editing between 2D & 3D. Advanced rendering provides both Photo Realistic and Artistic styles such as Line Drawing and Watercolor. 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.

Design Options

Style Palettes — Create client design options for doors, windows, cabinets and room colors. Dramatically change the look of a room by applying the Palette. Save style palettes to your library for future use or to share with other designers.

Remodeling

Rearrange walls, add rooms, and update cabinets, countertops and flooring. Design with as‑built and remodeling layers to detail, estimate, and visualize. If you change the size of the room, you can immediately see the updated materials list to estimate costs. Help your clients visualize your designs, and sell more jobs with realistic 3D renderings and virtual tours.

CAD Tools for Productivity & Precision

Chief Architect 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. Quickly manipulate objects with multiple copy, align, reflect and replicate at specific intervals. A CAD-to-Walls tool imports AutoCAD® files and provides mapping for layers so you can quickly see the model in 3D. Draw custom CAD details, import as DWG/DXF/PDF, or choose from over 500 CAD details in the premium SSA catalog to overlay on your design.

Plan Sets & Construction Drawings

3D renderings and virtual tours help you sell the project and construction drawings help you specify, permit and build. All views in your project - Floor Plans, Framing, Electrical, Section Details and Elevations have a user defined scale and link to a specific drawing that updates as your design changes. Layers control what displays for each of the drawing pages to help create professional detailed construction drawings.

Site Planning, Terrain, Decks & Landscaping

Create site plans for single or multiple lots. Import terrain survey data or use the Terrain Modeling tools — terrain data can then be used for a 2D site plan or viewed in 3D to show the specific topography. Road, Sidewalk, Hill and Valley tools provide added detail. For Landscaping, there's over 4,000 plants with detailed information about each plant including integrated Hardiness Zone Maps. Define a North pointer and seasonal settings to create sun studies, shadow effects and overlays. Decking tools include automatic and manual deck framing; customize deck planking and materials.
