3D CAD 7 Professional - Plan & design buildings from initial rough sketches to the finished blueprints - CAD and architecture software

GARBAGE!! No volume on videos

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

This 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.

This was very easy to install and download on a Windows 10 OS. It runs well.

This 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.

This software has a bit of a learning curve to it, but once you put in the time to figure it out, it makes sense. There is a lot it can do when it comes to designing your home. If you are willing to sit and figure it out, its a great choice.

This 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.

Having used Chief Architect for year (years ago) I figured it would not be hard top convert to this, boy was I wrong, not at all intuitive at all. Big thumbs down, should have bought the more expensive superior Chief Architect.

Unable to load DVD.

This 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.
