Leave a Review 3D Viewer by Chief Architect
Good App-bad viewing
Have the new IPad Pro 12.9” and white cabinets are washed out when viewing to show client. Even on my very expensive HP laptop, white cabinets in viewer program washed out.
Views perfect on same laptop but in main program!!!ljaii
Great App.
Just thought I’d give it a try and am amazed. My clients love it and after getting used to the controls, it’s worked seamlessly for us. Haven’t had any probs loading models from 11 and it takes the place of laying out the walkthroughs. Thanks Chief!jmcc1

Hi jmcc1, Thanks for the review. We are glad to hear that 3D Viewer is making a difference in assisting your clients visualize your designs! Best, Chief Architect SoftwareChronic issues
Constantly crashes and says I don’t have enough memory to load (not true).... the few times it does load, you can’t render in anything but “basic” quality or it will crash. Terrible!lottiebean
Could be very useful
Great idea. Got it to use with my field subs and clients.
Sent a link to share a model with them.
They could not load without creating an account with Chief it was hard for them from the shared model link and I had to help with that.
Difficult to share content. ID numbers way too long and links not as seamless as you would imagine.
3D texturing not very good. Would like to send models and be able to walk thru a plan in 2D and seeing in 3D.
Would be more useful called Chief Architect Viewer without the 3D and one could send 2D layers of 2D as well.
Thinking of it as a collaboration tool with end user recipients of shared content who are holding phones in the field would provide a better framework of how to
Redesign interface to make it truly useful.
I look forward to future versions.Show lessDr Babaa

Hello Dr Babaa, Thank you for your review. Since your review we no longer require an account being created to view a model. The end-user no longer has to type in an ID number as you can just send them an email with the share link, they click on the link, and it automatically downloads and opens the model in the app. Additionally the app has added features for viewing the 2D floorplan. Here is information on how to optimize your model and materials for the 3D Viewer: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03044 Best, Chief Architect SoftwareWill not load a shared model
Working with a local draftsman for a house design. iPad will not load the shared design. Will work on an iPhone, but the iPad Pro will not load the shared design.staci124
Not sure how to rate this.
I like design apps for entertainment. So I took a chance and bought this. Where do you get objects to put into your design?Ama hoff
Crashes Frequently
When I look at my model in standard mode, it crashes almost every time.aasasssdsfvjgfbjtvb
If the mountain won’t come to Trump...!
Helpful in as far as bringing the mountain to Trump is concerned. Eliminates the need to wheel your PC around.chafaon
I would love it if it could build instead of look at the houses
I have all of the other apps of yours and I can work them fine but it seems that this app doesn't work that well I thought you could build things and you can't well I can't anyway and I was looking at this app thinking that it will be great to finish on one of my customers houses but I thought wrong. On that note, the rest of your apps are 100% better! XxShow lessBetty boo all ggbgv
Good App Needs Improvements
Let me start off by saying that I love chief architect. I was super excited to learn about this app. It does a very good job of allowing you to view your design in 3D mode. It's very impressive in front of clients.......but it's way behind on going between a 3D view and a 2 dimensional floor plan. When sitting in front of a client you don't always need a 3D model. 2 dimensional plans are equally important when discussing layout and flow of an area.
An app that does this flawlessly is BIMX. It allows you to view your design in 3D or 2D plans. I'm not saying it needs to be exactly like BIMx but even the option of loading your 3D model along with a separate tab that also allows you to load your 2D construction documents would go a long way when talking to clients in a real world situation.
Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see where this app goes from this moment.Show lessSO.CO. Design
