Chief Architect Premier X8 is narrowly optimized software for architects for building houses and managing construction processes. The software is an alternative to Autodesk products, being not as popular due to poorer features included and limited capabilities in comparison to Autodesk product family. Let us review the key updated features of Chief Architect Premier X8 and try to estimate whether the application can be a valid alternatives to Autodesk solutions.

What is new in Chief Architect Premier X8?

The Chief Architect Premier X8 release is the latest version having got user driven improvements. Among the new features there are:

Advanced shadowing option allowing to switch on shadows on various sections to see how other parts of the construction will get shadowed to estimate lighting effect and shadows for overhanging elements of the construction. The software is now able to estimate the location of a constructed building according to the sun.

Lively layouts presented in real world colors are now possible. The major problem of all development architect engineering products is the coloring of constructed objects. The Chief Architect Premier X8 allows to use real life colors and to see how a constructed building will look like in reality. You can apply live colors as to a part of a project so to an entire building in the project.

Advanced editing of building configurations allow now to edit back, front, cabinets separately and independently. This means that if you make changes to a certain side, then other parts of the construction will remain unchanged. With this improvement of Chief Architect Premier X8 you will be able to change walls, floors, ceilings, panels or doors according to the requirements of the project or to see whether a new idea is applicable to the entire project or not. This option also allows changing materials, surfacing, colors of a certain part of an element, thus enabling you to bring in individual changes to the interior of a planned building.

Thumbnail design and editing allows to display the small icons in columns, to preview them and to change or edit if an image is hard to see.

Detailed displaying of parts of interior allows to correctly setting the smallest parts you are planning for interior design. You can set railings, stairs, tread overhang and other parts of interior in the highest details.

Chief Architect Premier X8 is not an alternative to any of Autodesk products as it features all the same options and tools available in Autodesk. The software is for simplified interior design with few useful options which are not worth investments.

I am a professional architect and now I work on a very serious project. Licensed and qualitative software is a must for people of my profession. Here I bought Autodesk Architecture. Now I want to confirm the fact that procadeng.com is probably the only place offering professional CAD software at beneficial price. I will recommend this store to my colleagues.

AutoCAD has been used by our engineering firm for nearly 30 years as its main drafting program. Although Revit has been adopted, AutoCAD is still used for projects that do not require 3D parametric design.

At once after purchase, I faced a problem with installation. I bought CAD software for the first time. That's why I didn't know all peculiarities of installation process. When I bought software from the other online stores I got used to the fact that they didn't care about their customers. I was surprised that the support team of this store answered me and gave recommendations concerning the installation. I quickly solved my problems due to them.
