  • Good Viewer

    Using this for a while now and it does what it says which is you are able to view your designs not manipulate them. Taking it a step further in todays world would be great in adding VR support for Oculus. Wouldn’t that be something worthy of 5Stars!
  • Glad it exists but could be better

    Most importantly, I frequently get out of memory errors when loading models even after I’ve attempted to optimize. There’s only so much you can take out after all.

    The rendering engine seems to need work. There are games I play that seem to use much more complex polygons, textures and lighting that run faster than the models in this app.

    Next, there should be a floor plan view that mimics the view in Chief Architect instead of only having the textured floor plan. It would be great if we could also control the layers to hide or show them. I’d like to be able to see notes I made on my desktop as text boxes. Along these lines, the floor navigation in the floor plan is really just a cross section height adjustment and is difficult to control.

    I’m glad controller support was added. It really takes away some awkwardness when showing models to others and having them gather around your iPad if you’re not in a position to mirror your screen.

    Support for saved walkthroughs would be nice.

    Overall, I’m glad this app exists as it was key to choosing Chief Architect that I be able to show and share models. I just wish some things could be enhanced.

  • Excellent

    Just what I would expect from Chief Architect.... it just works like you would want it to. I was not expecting the ability to use Google Glasses.... excellent.

  • very good

    this is a great companion to home designer pro. very easy to use!! i hope you keep adding things, e.g. like reflections and sunlight direction.
  • Probably Great, But...

    I’m sure this a great app, but it doesn’t let you view Home Designer models (which IS Chief Architect software). There are some very smart folks working at Chief Architect - I can’t imagine it would be that difficult to make this app view other Chief Architect files...we can’t all afford $3k / seat software!
