Chief Architect software is the professional tool of choice for architects, home builders, remodelers, and interior designers. Smart building technology makes it easy to create construction drawings, floor plans, elevations, 3D renderings, and 360 panoramic renderings. Chief Architect's software is purpose‑built for residential design with building tools that can automatically generate roofs, foundations, framing, and dimensions. As you draw walls, windows, and doors, the program simultaneously creates a 3D model. These 3D models can be shared with homeowners, structural engineers or subcontractors using its 3D Viewer app.
Chief Architect Software offers two professional design products—Premier and Interiors. Both software products include 2D design, elevations, cross‑sections, 3D design, 3D visualization, and construction drawing tools. Chief Architect Premier is the best software product for full residential or light commercial design‑everything inside and outside the house. Chief Architect Interiors is ideal for kitchens, baths, and interior design‑everything inside the house. Framing and exterior tools such as terrain are excluded from Chief Architect Interiors.
