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.

We got this because we want to design our own house and this works really well for that. It’s a fun product and it’s really easy to use. You can also get the newsletter from the company after you register and it allows you to download new features all the time (like bathroom fixtures, game room, plants, kitchen layouts, etc). It exceeded our expectations.

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.

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.
