Sweet Home 3D - Interior Design Planner with an additional 1100 3D models and a printed manual, ideal for architects and planners - for Windows 11-10-8-7-Vista-XP & MAC

The softwares title is Interior Design Planner which is accurate. It allows for basic building design on 5 sides- 4 walls and floor, with the ability to add or subtract levels. One cannot do roofing or exterior simulations of landscape or decking with any semblance of reality. It is fairly user-friendly, but does not have CAD ability. Pros: It has two strengths compared to previous software Ive used-- interior furniture placement with the simultaneous 3D imaging of the same or all levels that corresponds to the 2D plan. So what you place in the 2D plan can be seen on the same screen in the 3D image which can be rotated on all 3 axes. The combination allows for pretty good visualization on the same screen if the plan is a relatively small footprint. Ive been surprised at how the 3D gives better feeling for furniture and people flow compared to the 2D map. Cons: this is designed for a European audience, so selections of furniture, appliances and etc are for largely Scandinavian tastes and small footprints. For a larger up-scale house with American sizes, the 3D image is difficult to manipulate and becomes vanishingly small. The zoom function is not enough to compensate. Modeling for a landscape on a slope is hard because the lower level exterior cannot be visualized. For the price, this is pretty good and allows for beginning designs.

Sweet Home 3d would not install in my old computer. Tech support assisted me via email and I tried several different options they suggested but the problem could not be resolved and the program would not install. They promptly refunded the programs purchase price. I purchased a new computer this Christmas and was able to install Sweet Home 3d in it with no issues. The program seems very intuitive and tutorials are available on line if questions arise. I am very happy with the product.

I found it easy to use, and helpful for my wife to design our room lay out. For Printing the results I used snip and sketch.

Very difficult to set up room sizes

Mine came damaged amd I had to semd it back. Also it looked different than the one pictured. The one I received was an international version.

Great! Easy to learn and use

Not simple for me

Tries to be to much and does not work well.

I am a beginner and this product was too complicated for me to use.

This product shouldnt be sold til they fix the problems with it.
