Chief Architect User?

User avatar
PaulBinCT | Posted in General Discussion on April 19, 2004 05:32am

Good Morning…

I’m wondering if there’s anyone out here using Chief Architect that could answer a couple (hopefully) simple questions for me?  Rather than cluttering up the board, I’d be grateful if any “volunteer” would drop me their email to [email protected]  Thanks in advance for any help!

Paul

            Well, in the meantime I received from Amazon, so between that and the board I did get my answer, which was on the matter of creating piers.  (Although it does seem like a really bassackwards system to me).  I was just frustrated because I needed an answer fairly quickly and my first posts at least were very delayed...

            Anyway, thanks for the interest and suggestions!

            Paul
