 3D HOME ARCHITECT March 3, 2008

3D Home Architect, Product was received in perfect condition and in time allowed. The program is more like CAD than I expected. I have an earlier version and expected it to be similar. So it will take a little longer to get onto.
3D Home Architect Deluxe May 15, 2007
Linda H. Satterfield (Northwest Georgia)
I use this program extensively. My husband is a contractor involved primarily in home improvement and/or additions. I use 3D Home Architect Deluxe to design the addition/change/improvement and we are able to demonstrate to the client, prior to beginning of work, how the finished project will look. It's an added plus for us as well as the homeowner. We attach an initialed copy of the plan to our contract to avoid any possible future disagreements about the original agreement. Some clients even come to my home office to utilize the "3D" element of the program and get a "true feel" for the project and make any final changes/adjustments based upon what they see. Altogether, it's a wonderful program with an excellent tutorial and easy to use.
I have used 3D Home Architect Deluxe to design entire homes, not just for our clients but ourselves as well. I recently completed the design for a home we plan to build and it saved us major $$$ as I was able to present the architect with a highly workable plan which enabled him to provide our blueprints for a much reduced price.
Highest recommendations to the contractor or those like myself who simply like to design homes.
 No substantial support, product does not perform properly January 25, 2005

In installed this product on a Dell Optiplex GX110 (admittedly not the latest, but still a very standard machine) running Windows 2000 with 512MB of memory. In spite of spending literally hours with the software I was unable to get it to produce an outline or dimensioning of a wall being drawn by dragging the mouse, as clearly illustrated in the accompanying video. Without this feature it is virtually impossible to efficienctly produce exterior or interior walls. Multiple emails to Broderbund have produced autoreplies suggesting that I refer to their Website for help. This site is essentially worthless for all but the most fundamental problems (like not being able to read the install CD).
It would also appear that this product is picky about the hardware it supports and also the version of driver. Be prepared for possible frustrations with this product, with little support from the manufacturer. I cannot report on other features of the software because I was never able to produce even the walls of a structure!

I've used CAD programs written in the 80's that are better than this. I'll go back to Drawing Board 1.0 over this thing. Not user friendly. I can hardly draw a few walls without it crashing. JUNK
