But it was good to transfer it directly into Chief. I did try using a Disto and room planner several times, it took me 3 times as long to measure, not for me either. Do you remember Chief's Room Planner? Me either. And sure someone will post a thread about a lidar enhanced room measuring device that gets real close and is compelling because technology simply is compelling but I can get most measure done in under an hour, miss features rarely (any more) and am no longer enthralled with the latest measuring techniques. I am not a Luddite when it comes to technology but technology for technology's sake leaves me wanting as compelling as it is. There is even a video out there somewhere showing the technique but after watching that it only confirmed that it's simply not for me. ![]() ![]() I walked through, in my head, a house measure with a Disto Blue Tooth device that included a lap top opened to Chief on a stand that moved from room to room, and tried to imagine choosing a wall, taking the measurement, checking the wall in Chief to make sure the measurement was entered accurately, and/or checking to see if the correct wall was selected, then selecting another wall, going to that wall with the Disto, measuring, then back to Chief to select another wall, then to the next room, rinse and repeat, and so on. Not the best analogy but sometimes a pencil and paper is just more practical in the real world than all the latest technology. Then I picked up a pencil and paper and began sketching out an idea and voila, there it was. By the time I got close in Chief the idea had morphed into something unusable. ![]() I was trying to sketch up an idea I had in my head in Chief the other day and was going in circles.
