Something to play with while waiting for new home |
|
This is a lot of fun to use. You can plot out your entire house exactly, which was surprising. You can put in your furniture (with exact dimensions) and decorate it before you actually buy anything, to see if it will fit. I found this extremely useful and actually saved money by seeing how some of my current furniture would work with the new. |

ok but very limited |
This product was ok but I was really disappointed by the inadequate graphics available and that this program does so few of the things that they show on the tutorials. If it is this limited they should advertise it as such so it isn't necessary to buy it, reject it and then have to buy the next step up, which I'm reluctant to do because this was wasn't what I expected so I hate to spend more money on the same brand.
On the other hand, it is very easy to learn and use if you just want to design some space and don't need good graphics or want to change your terrain from a flat lot. |

The product performs as advertised and comes with a decent tutorial disc. It made me realize I needed the next product level up in order to remodel both the house and the design of the lot the house sets on. For a small amount more the added features of the Suite 7.0 became important for what I wanted to do. |

Great, but not as much as I expected ... |
|
This is a great product for someone who really enjoys "playing" with a variety of design techniques. My few "issues" with it are the somewhat limited selection of materials and the fact that it can be a bit cumbersome to get detailed design plans to work out "just right." |

A bit bummed by limitations on this program |
|
I was hoping for something more than a floor plan to 3D generator. I wanted to print out structures in the vertical and I wanted to design some arbors, sheds, and gazebos. Not with this program. What it does it does very well - none better. It is just more limited than I was hoping for. |
