Home design software compatible with Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 7 - Plan and design buildings from initial rough sketches to the finished blueprints - 3D CAD 8 Architecture

If the only tool that you have is a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail. You can mold and slide 3D objects around the X, Y and Z planes in Blender. You can build blocky walls in Minecraft. But those are using hammers on screws.

Its asking for a product key which it doesnt seem to have come with

the software is okay , a bit clunky. overall okay

In the construction field my whole life. Thought I could draw up a house plan on this but no way. Very hard to use and really no direction on how to use it. I couldnt get past making the exterior walls, GOOD LUCK!!

Ok so I first wanna say that Im not a professional designer. With that, this program didnt load to my computer very easy and once it did it was kinda glitchy. I ended up restarting my computer and then it ran a little smoother but still slower than usual, maybe my computer is getting to old, who knows. Once I was in the program it was hard to get started as there wasnt much instruction or tutorials to help get started. A lot of the words are ones I had to look up to understand and abbreviations that I also didnt know. I tried to watch some videos about it, but not much help there. So far I havent had time to mess with it again but once I do Ill update this review if I get it figured out.

Something like this should be easy to use right out of the box. If I have to open the manual for anything other than advanced analytics, it’s a bad product. Well… I’m sick of opening the manual. Maybe I’m just not smart… I did drop the Christmas tree on my head this year… but seriously. This is just not easy to use or figure out. Find something else.

I needed something to help design a small business space that I was developing. I am going to be going into gourmet mycology. WIth this being the case, my rooms and grow space need to be very precise. Its going to be a little bit before I put nail to wood, but this was great to help get me started virtually. As it stands, I have my entire space planned out. Its just a matter of pulling the trigger and finalizing the process. Super happy with the results I have so far.

Given all the applications that I have had to learn over the years, I fairly familiar with how to learn and navigate through new applications. This Home design software compatible with Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 7 applications is challenging. It isnt as intuitive as Id hoped. When I went to view the 2D dimensions, it was very small and it took me forever to figure out how to keep the focus when I zoomed in.

This package is obviously European as the units are not USA standard. Once I set the primary units as feet, the density was still metric(kg/m3) as were several other units critical to construction and the option for SAE units did not exist. Even after setting the units to feet, when I attempted to lay in a foundation as a rectangle with the grid snap set at half feet, the dimensions continued to be in decimal inches and I could not set the foundation to the desired 34 by 44 but instead had to be satisfied with 34.xx by 44.yy. I was not pleased with this program at all. It is possible that it was a learning curved but having retired as an engineer and having extensive experience with AutoCAD, either I got really stupid when I retired or this program is poor. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

I ordered this program to help in the designing of several home improvement renovations. I have had the program for several months, and I am still trying to get the hang of it...so no completed room designs (Was starting by planning a kitchen)
