I would say Chief Architect is expensive over other similar products but it justifies the price tag. For starters it has Excellent Raytracing, Option to Exchange Floors, the room labelling capabilities are best in class. Every IT guy who works with Architect Firms would agree that Polyline Tools are necessity, here we have them. Then, there is the feature that lets user put Walls on different layers which help in satisfying the customer. Being an IT guy what I love more is that it has option to import GPS text files and DWG. Then there is annotation sets available. When I was a student I liked playing around with Chief Architects older versions. They were good. But now with the Premier, the possibilities of architecture have gone to another level. I was fortunate enough to get a job in a firm as IT head where Architects work. Then their Support Assurance program is best value. All in all this is the best Architecture suite.

I liked how it was easy to build the shell of a space

I love the fact that Chief Architect Premier is very user friendly. It is a great drafting tool for the person just starting out in the drafting world. The simplicity makes it quick to learn how the software works.
