New Features in X18+ Spin the Wheel

- Designers Show #181 -

The next Designers Show is all about what’s new in Chief Architect X18, with a round of Spin the Wheel to keep things interesting.

We’ll look at new features, helpful shortcuts, smarter defaults, and practical setup ideas that can make your drawings faster and cleaner. There’s no way we can cover everything in one hour, so we’ll let the wheel decide where the conversation goes.

Bring your questions, your favorite time-saving tricks, and the parts of your workflow that still slow you down. We’ll compare notes, test a few ideas, and kick the tires on X18 together.

📅 Friday, October 2, 2026
🕙 10:00 AM Pacific | 11:00 AM Mountain | 12:00 PM Central | 1:00 PM Eastern

Bring your questions, jump into the conversation, and let's see what the wheel has in store!
