​Preparing Details from your Chief Architect Software Model​

Published 2 days ago • 2 min read

Hello Reader,

Architectural details are often the most time-consuming and frustrating part of switching software.

In this presentation, AIBD Board Member Joey Martin will show you how to set up your template in Chief Architect so your model includes all the details you need.

A little time spent up front will save you loads of time later when creating detailed designs directly from your model.
