Here because I was going to install Make on the new laptop, but tried out the new web version… and quickly got stuck. Upgraded to a new macbook a month ago and tonight was ready to crack open the house plans, originally in Sketchup Make, when I came upon all this. Please, Trimble, don’t make the online version or the high-dollar one our only options. And I can’t pay $695 for it.Ībout every third release, I give Chief Architect $100 bucks for the newest version. In a few years when the oldest thing I can download is 2018, I will need it. Right now the oldest version I can download is 2014. But every so often the Warehouse cleans out older versions of the models.

I also think it will lead to a lot of (possibly accidental) repostings of somebody else’s work. Hobbyist.īut I looked at Free and when I realized my models wouldn’t be on my computer, so I can slide them into Home Architect, I realized that won’t work for me at all.

I’m trying to see how much space I need for my furniture/stuff and how to arrange it prettily. I put it in the Warehouse, and others seem to like it, too. When nothing in the Warehouse or the HA library really was a good stand-in for the dressing table I’ve had since I was 9, I made a model from scratch, which I like a lot. In trying to find out just how much space it takes to store certain things, the very first model I made was a roll of toilet paper. I made a tiny house loft platform that I posted to the warehouse. I made a barrel-vaulted ceiling for a short hallway. I use SketchUp to make a few building parts that don’t come easy in Home Architect. In over 20 years of architectural drawings, no one has ever built a building I designed in Home Architect. Beginning in 2009 I started downloading and modifying models from the Warehouse. Their user forum let me know I could import Sketch-Up models into Home Architect to supplement the (to me) less than satisfactory furniture library. I found out it was made by Chief Architect and hobbyist version upgrades were available. I bought a $10 CD of Home Architect Deluxe 3.0 and started playing with it.

Might I ask, as I pay for pro and am in a different use case, what do ‘home users’ and ‘hobbysists’ use this for, where they need access to the thousands of models on the warehouse, and where having the most up to date (2018) version is so important?īack in the 90s I wanted a house, but didn’t think I could afford it unless I built it myself. Fewer models are going to get seen because of these issues (loses your place, sliders don’t work, discourages continued viewing of large results)…īut back to the point: of course you’re right, about downloading earlier versions, but the way the Warehouse works now discourages use of any but SU2018. They read end of the group almost as soon as you start scrolling down (if the Warehouse can alphabetize Z-A, the sliders should be able to approximate the percentage of models above and below). This breaks my heart when it happens right before my models come up! And it takes a long time to refind your place in the results. In fact, it now stops every 200 models and and suggests you change your search terms. You put in a search term and it finds a bunch of models, but if you open one to look at it, when you use the back arrow to return to the search results, the Warehouse no longer returns you to your place on the list of found models. But the Warehouse was recently “improved,” making this option harder to use.
