Elena13 0 Posted June 8, 2014 Hello, I'm new to using the Chief Architect software. I currently have 2012 Home Designer Landscape & Deck. I do landscape design and would like to create a quick house that mimics the existing home for which I'm creating a landscape design so that I can do 3D views. Is it possible to import a survey with property lines and the house footprint and then trace the property outlines and house footprint and 'build' a house from that? If not, which version of Chief Architect would allow me to do that? Thank you. Elena Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kbird1 156 Posted June 8, 2014 I don't know what file types you can import but yes it should be possible to "trace" an image file , or perhaps .PDF? or .DXF Have a look in the Knowledge Base about importing plot info , images, tracing etc or your Reference Manual , under Help>Reference Manual which will download the PDF if you don't have it? it is more in depth than the Online Help ,which I guess you already checked? , right ? Here is a link to the KB..... http://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/database.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavidJPotter 163 Posted June 9, 2014 In L & DD 2012 you you can import scans of site plans in .png, .jpg , .bmp and Metafiles, you then scale the imported image so you can then trace over the results with native tools in LDD. DJP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
