I thought this program would be perfect for my do-it-yourself-er husband. We could visualize different scenerios for our home. We are still learning to use the program to its capacity, I have to admit. But the learning curve is a bit steep. We are pretty computer savvy people and we have had a hard time learning the program. We are getting better and better as time goes on. But you should be prepared to spend some time on it. It didn't help that we already ripped a chimney out and needed an action plan ASAP!

However, if you can spend the time on it, the options are pretty vast. You can visualize many different scenerios before actually doing anything to your home. In the long run this is going to save us lots of money that we would have otherwise spent on screwups.

Overall, we like it now. In the beginning we didn't.

1 out of 5 stars Dont be fooled   July 9, 2010

3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I pruchased this software in hopes to help me design a workshop. Well you can forget that. Its primary purpose is to let you get kind of an idea what things may look like. It will not frame your house our building. The framing viewer is a joke. Since it cant do that very well the estimate is a joke. Almost all lumber is given in LF so it is useless in getting even a gross idea on the true cost of the materials.

If I could figure out how to get my money back I would.

Also notice that most of the better reviews come from a community run by the developer. Pure crap had I noticed that in the first place I would have never purchased the software.



4 out of 5 stars Good program - requires patience to learn   June 22, 2010

This is a good program that offers a lot of options for designing your
own home. One of the very nice features is the ability to have a
designer's overview, looking at what you designed in a 3-D view. Most
of the features are well labeled and easy to navigate (not to mention
a very complete help page), however, many of the details will require
patience and doing the research through the help section do
effectively use the program.

I was excited to try this software out since pretty much everything we
have done to our home has been do-it-yourself projects or small
contract jobs, and this has landscaping and cost estimates. We have
almost no landscaping around our home, so I thought it would be fun to
design a project and see how it turns out. It was harder than I
anticipated, but I am not a pro when it comes to software, so I played
and discovered how in-depth this really is. I was amazed at how many
options there were to choose from, just looking at plants for
landscaping was overwhelming me. It was fun to add in neat extras to
see how they look in the yard.

If you want to have sample plans or see your house in different colors
or fabrics, this is great. As for designing, if you have time and love
to explore all of these options yourself, from floors to cabinets to
countertops to sink styles, with lots of things in between, this would
probably be a blast for you. I have been having a lot of fun with it,
and I would love to be able to create a design and make it happen. I
enjoyed seeing all of the options that can be put together to make a
home. I plan to continue using this software and learning more about
it as I go, because my confidence has grown as I have used it, and I
don't feel as overwhelmed as when I first tried it out.
