Virtual Architect Home & Landscape Platinum Suite

As a website designer, and definitely not a draftsman, I use this program to draw house plans for a home builder client. Does the trkick.

I find this software difficult to use since I have very little background in building construction. The software assist is a bit rigid. And in the end I get frustrated and close it. Eventually Ill learn to use it but, there is definitely a learning curve with this software.

A) This isnt the HGTV version. This is Virtual Architect. Box looks pretty much the same so maybe VA bought it and ruined it? Anyway. Wont install on my Windows 7 system. Went online, did everything I was told. Installed a bunch of SQL server stuff and disabled a bunch of startup items to give it due diligence. Nothing worked. Total garbage. Spend up and buy something that works.

Very cheap, ...like old technology. Not worth $20.

I have used CAD software in the past, so I was aware there would be a learning curve, and that no CAD software is simple. However, I am very disappointed that the software is highly troublesome - I have had frequent freezes (my OS is Win7 64-bit). Its frustrating to be working with a design and get frozen out. Although there are periodic auto-saves, whatever it was I am working on disappears.

The product is Good and method of delivery is excellent,Thanks.

Just wanted a simple way to drag and drop and adjust a whole house floor plan that can be modified as desired. There used to be a simple wizard driven program that I used to design and build our house with. This program is not that. Way to complicated and time consuming to operate if that is all you are trying to do.

Reminds me of Lotus. Not an up-to-date software.

I bought this software to do a basic home design, after spending countless hours trying to install it, i finally had to contact support to find out why the password/ID did not work. After multiply e-mails and calls to Tech Support i was notified that the program was no longer supported by Nova Development, although they are happy to still sell an unsupported and useless product. Do NOT purchase any product from Nova, period!

This program has brought hours of entertainment for our family as well as helping my husband design our basement. It is easy to figure out for users of all levels.
