Lesson 3 - What to Keep in Mind

What to Keep in Mind When Using Chief Architect X15

I know that this may sound silly, but I want to make sure to remind you that Chief Architect is just a tool. Yes, you’ve invested a pretty penny, but in the end patience is one of the greatest skills you can have when learning a BIM software.

I’ve been actively working in CA for almost 8 years and I’m still learning and discovering new things regularly. Truth be told, you may watch a video where I record such a moment. When I’m training someone in a one-on-one session and they’re getting frustrated or thinking it’s taking them too long that’s when we generally take a breath and I remind them that they know more than they realize. This is the same for you.

This is the second Chief Architect course I’ve put together and you’re not alone in feeling a little lost every now and then. Sometimes I even want to throw my computer against the wall, but those are the moments you need to walk away and work on something else OR message the group in this course’s Slack channel for clarification.

No matter where you are in the learning process, I’m here for you.

 
 

xoxo, Kelly
