remodel their existing home, or redesign their bathroom, kitchen, and even landscaping. And although Designer Pro 7.0 includes some of the most advanced design tools you'll find anywhere, the package includes a "Getting Started Tutorial" and over 70 "How To" videos that will help you take on even the most of advanced projects. In no time at all, you'll be well on your way to designing a project that architects and other professionals would otherwise cost you thousands of dollars in architect or other professional fees.

Advanced Design Tools and Hundreds of Templates
To get started, Home Designer Pro 7.0 features several Better Homes and Gardens home style templates that range from traditional to contemporary, complete with colors, cabinets, and moldings. An advanced "Home Designer" tool that lets you quickly place and arrange walls, windows, doors, and cabinets, as well as choose colors, place furniture, and create decks and landscaping features. Once you have the basic design elements in place, you can use the advanced 3D camera tools -- Glass House, Doll House, Framing, Cross-Sections, and Virtual Tours -- to "experience" your new home. This will allow you to create the virtual look and feel for your design before it's built with the actual (and expensive) materials.

Overall, you'll have over 8,000 design tools at your disposal, over 9,000 items from name-brand manufacturers to use, and 1,500 free sample plans. Professional CAD tools will prove indispensable when it comes to the details.

Professional Building Tools To Get The Job Done
Creating your design is only the first step of several. Once your design is complete, you'll need to begin the arduous process of creating a materials list to estimate total costs, check your plan against building standards, and so on. Home Designer Pro 7.0 will help you do all of this and more. You can automatically generate a materials list for project cost estimating, and use Home Designer Pro 7.0's tools for roof generation, framing, dimensioning, and foundations. A Plan Check will automatically validate your design against standard building principles, saving you hours of time. And most importantly, an automatic materials lists will help you keep track of your project inventory and cost estimating as your design progresses.

And when it's time to move outside, Home Designer Pro 7.0 has you covered with landscape design tools that can create hills and valleys for custom landscapes, as well as Fence, Garden, Deck, Driveway, Path, and other Terrain Feature tools. The package includes two program CDs, four tutorial CDs that include over 70 "how-to" videos, a "getting started" guide, reference manual, and a USB security lock.

- Works for me!
I bought this program after giving up on Punch. Wow! What an improvement. First off I haven't noticed the massive number of bugs that were in Punch. Secondly this program is much easier to use. It does take some getting use to and requires a bit of computer savvy. However I was well into designing my house within a day after buying it. My biggest recommendation is to make good use of the video tutorials and documentation. They are invaluable in getting up to speed. I have noticed a few negative ... Read More

- Not Easy
Steep learning curve, not easy to use, plus they make you use a key in one of your USB ports at all times when you want to use the software. As a paying customer this type Key offends me. I have other things pluged into my usb ports, so looking for this little key all the time is a pain. Besides I paid good money for the program.

- Amazing Program
Home Designer Pro 7.0 is addictive. Watching your home "come to life" in 3-D color is absolutely amazing. Even though the software tackles extraordinarily complicated functions, most of them are shielded by intuitive icons. For example, there's the parent/child concept. "Wall" is the "Parent" and "Child" is "Exterior" vs. "Interior" vs. "Foundation" wall. But, because the software is so powerful, plan on investing some time figuring out how the program "thinks." It's the 80/20 rule. The first ... Read More

- roof lines difficult
I had another version of home designer and had already created my plan with it. I purchased Pro because I wanted to create plans to submit to my county for adding onto my home. I was able to use the plan I created in my lower version and use the Pro features to complete it for submission to my county building department.

Generally the program worked great. My only difficulties were with designing the roof. The auto roof feature only draws hip roofs and to make my design with only gable roofs ... Read More

- HOME DESIGN SOFTWARE
I am very pleased with the software and it's capabilities. It is relatively user friendly but does take some time and effort to get up to speed. Happily, the time invested is well worth the results produced.
