I am creating interpretive materials to help students understand the impact of early 18th century encounters along the lower Mississippi River valley to both the native and European populations. To that end, I would like to create a 3D model of an early French fort, complete with vertical log palisades and bastions (think of, say, Fort Boonesboro on the old “Daniel Boone” TV show). I’ve used home and landscape design software before, and thought such software could prove useful. Obviously, it’s not exactly that for which Chief Architect was designed, but my question is this: If you had the dimensions of a colonial wooden fort, and had the expertise with the use of the software, could Chief Architect handle the complexities of creating such a project? In some ways it’s a simple design, but because of the materials needed, it becomes more difficult. Any help or advice is welcomed. Thanks.
