Free Video Tutorials:
In these videos, I go into great detail on exactly how to complete different tasks using Chief Architect. There are many free videos on Chief Architect's website, if you are a current SSA member. I have not recreated any of those videos here, I have decided to go much farther in depth on certain subjects. As a professional home designer, Cheif Architect User & Trainer, I thought these were important areas of the program that were not covered anywhere else. All but one of these videos were created using Version X1 or newer. The videos that used X1, are interchangeable with X2.
These videos vary in length from 5 minutes to over an hour, With a total time of 4 hours of instructionla time. If you do not have a very fast or very dependable internet connection, you may not be able to watch these all the way through with out problems. Because of that, I have included a download link with each video.
Some of these videos are over 400MB because of the length, so you may not have the time or internet connection capable of the download. If that is the case, I can ship you a DVD, that includes all of the videos on the site, along with a couple of bonus items. If you would like that DVD for a small fee, Click Here. I can ship these world wide.
Feel Free to watch these videos, and let me know if there are any additional subjects you
would like to see more videos on!
Although these videos are made available for free, They do take a substantial amount of time to produce & host. So, If you feel these videos have been helpful to you, and would like to show your appreciation, please help keep these coming by making a 'donation' below.
Thanks, and enjoy!

"Mr. Brown,
I wish to express my appreciation for the great instructional video on creating solider course bricks for windows and doors. I have had problems getting these things right for some time. I have watched the video and followed the instructions to create my own symbols.
You will never know how much you have helped me this day.
