Greater than one weekSoftware works great but of course you have to purchase the highest version of the product to be able to really do any customization to the roofs. If you want to work on anything other than a very basic plan this product isnt for you unless you willing to pay for the $500 version of the software.

> 3 dayChief Architect Home Designer packages are great, started with most economical package and then upgraded to next level. Easy to use and you can just layout your fantasy homes or work on serious designs and remolding. Now retired I enjoy drawing with it and it won’t break the bank like some drawing packages.

Greater than one weekI ordered it in USB and received a disc. WTH??? Good thing I have an external disc drive or I would be returning it since the intended recipient has no way to load it.

> 3 dayI usually dont write a review but I decided to do one on this product. I have been buying this product since 2007 and upgrading when new ones come out and have enjoyed using them. But along the way they have gotten rid of alot of their stuff in their core catalage which now you have to purchase. I upgraded from 2021 to 2023 and was not inpress with the product. I would not pay the full price for this product.

> 3 dayUsing the product to remodel and expand a 1940s era home. The training videos are really well done and are absolutely helpful in becoming familiar with all of the various things one can do with this awesome planning tool. I am really having fun both learning the tool and creating meaningful plans for my vision for our house. A++ in my book.

Greater than one weekMy husband loved the older version (a few years ago) because it used words; the newer versions use unintelligible pictures and he is at a loss as to how to decipher them, so he gave up on this $200 program and went back to the older one.

> 3 dayFirst of all it takes quite some time and effort to learn. I would say there is very little that is intuitive. You get a lot of fluff options such as kitchen gadgets and light fixtures. However REAL features such as two different roof pitches is not possible. You also cannot change defaults on roof types. I hope you want a hip roof because that is the only default roof there is. Again really? a simple gable roof is not a choice as default auto build roof? I made the mistake of buying this twice, learn from my experience, and dont buy once.
