Not giving up on it yet, but here are my complaints: Way too limited in the measurements. Hallways, for example, cannot go less than 81 cm. Also, I could not figure out how to (or simply cannot) adjust the grid parameters to better fit the measurements I'm desiring. I live in Japan where houses are measured by Jo and Tsubo, which both convert to very abstract metric measurements. Hopefully someone can instruct me how to do so... Another thing; On 2D planning, when adjusting size of a room, the screen goes blank (white) and I have to wait a couple secs for it to come back before you can try to adjust the size again in hopes that it won't go blank again. I have an i7-490k, 16Gbs of RAM, a GTX980, and an M.2 SSD. If this is a hardware problem, I can only imagine it being worse for someone who has a medium to low-grade PC.

This home design software is amazing.This is great for a beginner like me.There are some amazing features on this software as well.This software was a little pricey but it was worth it in the end.This software has some cool samples to find some ideas. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This software has no time limits !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would like to address something that a review sayes.The review that sayes that the software only works for a week that is false because there are no time limits for this software.I had to address that because i want people to buy this amazing software.
It does what is described in it's store page. If you find it on sale I think it's worthwhile.... It's a little buggy for me but it could just be my computer. Building a new house and this made it pretty easy to lay out some psuedo dimensions and see how I could put the space together. Solved a lot of problems ahead of time, things like plumbing wouldn't line up or be able to go through a certain space. Closets run into bathroom not giving enough room to close a door, etc etc.
To a casual user, skip this one. If you're willing to spend days learning and becoming comfortable with the basics it appears as though you may be able to get some great results. As someone who only occasionally works on projects like this, drawing every line for every board and element manually in Sketchup is somehow an easier and faster experience than using this program that's supposed to auto generate a lot of things for you.
This Software is possibley one of the better products for Building Design that I have used ever. Almost every item required for basic build is included in the basic Pack. It would be nice if the Dev's were able to include more Items as a update to the Pack. In the landscpe section there is a real shortage of Fencing and path design But other that that This is a fantastice addition to any keen designer who needs to create landscape or Buildings!
It doesn't consistently launch. I haven't been able to get on it in weeks. I've followed the online guides to fix the problem (deleting a few files) and it still doesn't work. Save your money, go with something different.
only build 4 floor level,but my house have 6 level floor,:(
very poor don't waste your money
I like the features it has compared to punch pro architecture, makes it a lot easier to use. A new user will need to play with it for awhile and play the help me videos and you will catch on quickly. Definitely DYI friendly.
Model library is a little complicated. Some tools need explaining but otherwise, it is a useful software.
