> 24 hourReading the box, I was excited that it mentioned that it could use things saved in .dae files. This sparked my interest since I am making mesh objects for use in a virtual world. Other reviews mentioned the program being difficult to use for those not experienced in other DAD programs. I felt confident since I have used CAD programs for a long time. The program installed easily from the CD. Then I went to the file menu expecting to see import as one of the options. It wasn’t there. I did a help search for import and found a reference to importing DXF files in which it indicated that I should go to the file menu and select the import DXF option. No mention of other formats and that option wasn’t on the file menu anyway. I did find over in the 3D drop down a place where I could pick up objects that I had with the .dae format and that did work as I could see the object I was expecting. It could be that if one is very persistent this program may have benefits over other solutions.

> 24 hourI installed this on my workstation to work on building my dream home. I have started building this home in multiple softwares but havent found one that does EVERYTHING yet. Most of them only allow sketches or only let you put in finishing touches.

> 24 hourThis is same as Ashampoo 3D CAD Professional. When it launches, it displays the Ashampoo Branding. I am using a Surface Pro 6 tablet with the i5 chipset and installation was easy - and the activation code actually has instruction so you can tell the difference between numbers and letters that look similar. That was a really nice perk I wish more software would include.

> 24 hourMeasurements are meters and not feet/inches; unable to change. It makes it difficult to do what I need it for.

> 24 hourThis is a very full featured CAD program for a very low price. In my brief time playing with it, there was not much it couldn’t do, and with one exception that may not matter to you it works just fine. But I would never recommend it.

> 24 hourThis tools is good for working out an initial house layout. It is not a professional drafting program. Do not expect to produce working drawings for building a house. It is also very buggy. If you are easily frustrated by buggy software you should probably stay away.

> 24 hourOnce i took the time to go through all the help i was able to use this tool. I will say once you get the hand of it works great. They have lots of resources to help you.

> 24 hourThe program has the potential to be incredible. But there is ZERO support for the program. The only documents you can find from the manufacture are not in English, they are Russian I think. Makes it incredibly difficult to work through. I spent the better part of 5 hours attempting to create a simple shed structure with no luck. Even following along with their videos online in a different language yielded no results as the videos are of a different version of this program.

> 24 hourThis product is marketed as an easy to use solution for some home project design. Not the case. Perhaps if you are an expert with other CAD programs this one would come easy to you. I literally spent 8 hours trying to lay out a simple room. Best I could do? Four walls. Could not even figure out how to put a door in the wall or add a window. Tossed it. Simple it is not. Pulled up my Visio and had the room laid out in 10 minutes to my satisfaction and it did everything this program claimed it would do. Lesson learned on my part. Use what you know.
