Virtual Architect Ultimate Home Design with Landscaping and Decks

Not easy to use. Cant use

I’ve had installation issues and I am unable to get any help. Tech support are not available when I’m home and nothing on-line helped.

Well just got this today. Saturday. I’m installing on a laptop and I need to go diskless and the code does not work. A rough start. I have to wait until Monday for support and hopefully not have to pay for support. I was excited for the product and too bad I have to wait.

I purchased this a couple weeks ago. According the the box its EASY! No Design Experience Necessary Bull! When I opened the box to get the CD, a 494 page users Guide fell out. I dont have time to read a 494 page book before I can use this. I have an older copy of Punch Home Design and Landscaping. It is very user friendly, but I bought a new computer and I cant find the disc. I guess Ill just have to buy the newer addition of Punch. Dont waste your money on this product.

The installation code would not work so unable to install on computer. spent a week getting the run around from the support people with no help. Im done with these clowns, am returning for a refund.

Dont bother. You can draw 2D sketches to scale using any number of programs that you probably already have. The drop in elements, like tubs and sinks and cabinets etc. are helpful for measuring out a space and laying out elements, but thats about where the usefulness ends. For $100? Not worth it. I also nearly completed a full sketch of one story of a two story remodel when I discovered that this software does not even allow you to integrate custom countertops? What? Yep. Confirmed by tech support. So if you want to design a countertop that isnt going to be exactly the size and shape of your square rectangular cabinets, forget it. You cant visualize it. you also are limited to very clunky 3D views and low rez representations of furniture and floorings. I could probably do better with a pencil.

In the description, it says this is compatible to Windows 11, and I bought it for my husbands birthday. When he got it, he tried to install it, and when it wasnt working, he looked on the box, and it says it was compatible with 7, 8, 10 and Vista. Super disappointing! Listing description needs to be updated.

I downloaded version 10. Program has lots of features, more than I expected, but theres a bit of a learning curve. Trying to figure out things using only the supplied help file is frustrating and often lacking in detail... Would be nice to have technical support with FAQs, maybe a user forum.

I Agree with a previous reviewer. It seems to have a lot going for it but is not very intuitive. Also there is very little in the way of useful tutorials.
