powerful but needs a manual [Posted on 2007-08-08]
I've used other CAD programs, but this one has so many un-intuitive rules that it is nearly impossible to use. While drawing lines, for no apparent reason, the screen will go blank. Trying to keep reference perspectives as new lines are drawn is very frustrating when the screen changes color and drops all previous lines. The shifting from power tools to the drawing screen is likewise completely a puzzle. If you draw a line that extends off the screen (trying to draw a radius for example). The screen will start scrolling uncontrollably.... you cannot maintain perspective. This is a very very difficult program to get started with.
The tutorials jump right into a small project, but if you cannot get a landscape established, none of the tutorial information is useful. If you want to start with a foundation, and build a house, the tutorials are useless. A logically written manual on how to get started should be made available.
Don't waste your money on this unless you know somwone who can give you lessons on how to use the software.
A very mature, niche market product [Posted on 2008-03-18]
We've had no problem defining our (realistic) dream home with this program. There have been minor things that are hard to understand how to do, but I have no trouble believing that this is the best product for this in the market.
Awesome program for someone wanting to remodel thier house [Posted on 2008-09-05]
I bought this software for my wife. We are remodeling our home and I would rather her make changes on the computer instead of on the house. I figure it will save me thousands of Dollars in materials not to mention the time to make the changes. I like having the capability to virtually walk through the house and see the cabinets and the furniture.
