It definitely takes time, but since there are 4 of us in the office who can share the user catalog, it makes the effort worth it since we are all saving time each time we use the system. It makes that go so much faster when I am laying things out since the items come in together with the textures already tweaks for PBR. The Bonus Libraries, Core Libraries, Manufacturer Data, Manufacturer Libraries, and Referenced Files folders can all be copied from one system to another. While doing this, I am also creating architectural blocks of various models I put together as a group like furniture groups, cabinet / appliance groups, etc. Chief Architect’s library catalog files are located at: Windows - C:ProgramDataChief Architect Premier X15 Mac - Library/Application Support/Chief Architect Premier X15. Once I make my tweaks, I add it to my user library in the proper folder and delete the TEMP model. Since I haven't found a way to import directly into specific user folder, I usually add a prefix of TEMP before the name of a newly imported model, so I can easily find all of the newly imported models I need to tweak and put in my folder structure. It takes a lot of time, but I am now starting the reap the benefits of having it organized and not having the tweak the textures and settings each time I bring the model into my plans. I don't know how many models I found during the clean that I had downloaded multiple times because I could find the original download. I have also been assigning the keyword attributes so I can easily search under different keywords and find them later. plan file, cleaning up the texture and other settings, then saving them back into my user catalog under the proper name and folder. I have been working on cleaning things up a few hours at a time by importing the model into a.

I'm usually in a rush, so I would just import them to get them in my model and over time they just sit in the main User Catalog folder with some name assigned by the original modeler. You are dealing with some fairly large files, especially the libraries, they can take quite a while to synchronize.Mine got out of hand as well since I import a lot of models from the 3D warehouse. These slow USB drives are probably a couple of orders of magnitude faster than the synchronization to the cloud.

Then calling us to complain that their data was lost. In the past we had a fair number of issues with customers saving to slow USB thumb drives, getting impatient and pulling them out before the save was complete. Since you are working with large files on a slow network you have to make sure that you give enough time for the synchronization to complete. It is pretty obvious that if a synchronization on computer A is not complete before you start modifying the same file on computer B you will have a conflict.

I encourage you to learn as much as possible about how synchronization to the cloud works for the software that you have chosen. I could speculate as to why you are seeing this, but since I'm not familiar with how the software you are using works I won't.

As near as I can tell the names are not coming from Chief.
