 Graph paper & a pencil are far superior. November 22, 2009
D. Pullen
I bought this software to design my gardens. Another reviewer here raves about how easy it was for him to manipulate, but it almost drove me to throw a temper-tantrum. He must work for the Company.
Like the other reviewers, I have plenty of computer experience. I don't understand why they make this program so difficult to use. There are buttons that work on this screen and not that screen (so many useless buttons and menus) that you lose track of what you were doing while trying to figure out how to move that blasted rectangle. You CAN form any shape desired, given that you have nothing to do for hours on end.
My dad is an architect, so I vaguely know how to use AutoCAD. Learning that arcane programmer language would be much easier than using this. Now I'm angry and frustrated and my husband is hiding in the bedroom. I should have stuck with my graph paper and pencil.
I was going to sell this product on Amazon.com, but after reading these reviews, I just can't do this to you guys. Please, steer clear of this software until the kinks are worked out.

I have been using home design software for quite a few years. I frist ran across this software when it was put out by Borderbund. I thought then I had been riped off. I did not know it was the same software when I bought it again. It has not changed. It still does not work as they say it will. The graphics are horrable and even on a 64 bit 2.8 gig system take to long regenerate. You cannot see any of the so called changes as you put them in. If you add cabinitry it does not show up until you render it. Even then it is hokey. You can not move arround in the layout unless you select a diverent function.
If you have bought it and like it, try to stack stairs and see if your system does not crash.
 This Software WORKS if you have the POWER!! January 6, 2009

I recieved this as a gift for Xmas....this is how I ended up with it, otherwise I might have been scared adfter reading the reviews here. But this is very effective software if you are familiar with cad or at least some sort of design software. I have a background in design and am familiar with other 3d software. I also use 20/20 kitchen software. My laptop is loaded with Gig and RAM so that makes alot of difference. It took a long time to load the software...I havent had one crash and quickly designed a 3500 sq ft house. I admit there is a few things I dont like about this software, it could be much better, but viewing the house in 3d is pretty good for the price. It has enough options to choose from. The graphics are not bad, but dont expect it to look as great as the box images. Im not done exploring it yet. If you have a pc with the power and goodies and you perhaps a slight background using this type of software, it should be aequate for doing alot of useful tasks, otherwise yeah, dont be disapointed because your pc cant handle it.
Danger! Do not buy. November 18, 2008

I saw this software in Staples and thought I would give it a try.
Utter waste of time. I have a workstation with the latest specs. I installed Total 3D and spent alot of time inputting my stuff only to do a walk through and see no walls, no appliances, no furniture, just lots of green and bits and pieces of details in a non-sensical arrangement.
Not even the samples work.
DANGER ! DO NOT BUY.

I can only contribute to a lower rating. (It doesn't even deserve the one star that I'm forced to give.) Others have already properly stated my complaints and suggestions for improvement. Useless waste of time.
