Product Description
3D Home Architect Home Design 6 Special Edition… More >>
I have used this program for several years to create plans for add-ons and homes, including our parade of homes winning house a few years ago. I came back here to order it again because I needed to re-order the program after breaking my first disk.
For creating layouts and blue prints it is a great program. Down to the point and not much extra crap getting in the way. Set you wall thickness, then click and drag… Done… You can place furniture and appliances, but I can see why some people are upset by the lack of selection. A user might want to place a side by side fridge for the 3D preview instead of the upright fridge in the inventory. But when you are creating homes, you don’t care what the model is. As long as it has the correct size and scale you are set.
We used this program start to end to design additions. When creating a new house blueprint we were able to take the drawings generated from this program the cad engineer, he was able to read it easy and turn around the code approved drawings very fast. The program could also export out the DFX drawing. I know on most cases, he just imported that to CAD and use it to generate the drawing.
This program is simple & great for getting the job done.

if you want to do much with this program it requires you buy more stuff for it to get to a complete design. it is only good for walls and outlines and not that great at that.

This software was sent to me as a $9.95 software package. I thought it would be “no frills” software, it turned out to be the “lite” version, and basically incomplete for my needs. Overall it does not do the job. I had the original 3D home architect which was a fine product, this new one pales by comparison. Indeed virtually worthless. There was no indication that this would be the “lite” version.
I am sorely disapointed.
Further I am getting telemarketing calls using Broderbunds name to sell “junkware”! Overall, a extreme disapointment.

This software is crippleware, and at best it is a good DEMO version. They should not be charging for this software. I will not buy another broderbund program again, I really feel like I was given the shaft on this one.

Tells about being able to add furniture, and other features… but it’s not included in this version of the program.
