- Simple and Easy to use...
I love this program! I have spent hundreds of dollars on other programs and this tops them all for only $20 bucks. The rendering is good, lots of objects to choose from. Excellent tutorial Video/Audio feature. I recommend this to anyone interested in visualizing your new home,addition, or just want to have fun as a hobby designing rooms and homes!

- Good for one room, bad for entire house
I designed my new kitchen using this software. While the "one room" design worked rather well, I am yet able to complete an entire house layout. The program has several flaws, almost all involving its ability to "share" walls (i.e. living room's south wall is dining room's north wall). Like another reviewer mentioned, the wall problems cause vague error messages to pop-up that do not specifically tell you the exact location of the problem. At this point, you must exit without saving or your whole design will become corrupted.

This is a fun program if you like decorating, or if you don't mind building each room in your home as an individual design. However, if you're looking for a program strong enough to do extensive remodeling or new home construction, you're better off looking elsewhere.

- Excellent Value for $20
This is an excellent purchase.

I am remodeling a newly purchased home and received floor plans from a structural engineer. I punched in the floor plans with the software, added wall colors and floor textures (carpet, hardwood floors, furniture, kitchen, bath fixtures, etc. etc.), and the 3D walkthrough looks just like my home!

The tutorial was okay, but I could've jumped right in and done this in 30 minutes.

The 3D walkthrough is invaluable, because you can visualize plans before you finalize them. I will definitely change the proposed plans, window locations, doors, room additions, lighting, etc. based on what I see from this software. This software also helps to visualize matching color schemes for rugs, wall paint, carpets, furniture, etc.

- don't bother buying this software
(Note: the title is from a Monks song from the 80s)

Effectively, I'm saying that the software does some fundamental things ok ie. it is seemingly easy to setup a house plan.

However, there are so many flaws in the software that it is very, very frustrating to prepare a house design. The error messages are vague and cryptic and do not provide any helpful information. Strange artefacts will appear on the design and there is no way to remove them. After rotating a staircase, the staircase unrotates itself at a later time. In fact, I am unable to rotate any staircase an arbitrary rotation. Rotations are only permitted by 90 degrees. This completely prevents me from designing my dream home, since I wanted to angle my staircase 45 degrees.

Overall, although the software is cheap, it is not worthwhile to purchase since there are far too many frustrations. I wasted my money buying it and I can not recommend the product to anyone else.

I did email the company through their support line to ask them about the staircase rotation bit, but the company has not responded to me.

- Easy to use, but not perfect
I went ahead and bought this program based on the reviews and its price. I must say that if you have used any other CAD program or the Visio building stencils, this will be an easy program to learn. I opened the my first drawing and started putting together my new house right away.

Creating the rooms were very simple. There were a few times I had to search for an answer (like how to use a jogged wall to create an entry way), but for the most part it was pretty simple.

The main gripe I have with this program is the lack of objects. One area that is totally missing is electrical. You can place where lights belong in the house, but there is no objects for electrical outlets, light switches, phone jacks, or cable/Internet connections. I was surprised because I consider these to be major features.

The other issue I have with the program is that when you print your layout there is alot of whitespace surrounding your drawing. If you try to increase the image size then your drawing gets placed on multiple pages.

Other than these issues I think the program is great. If you are looking for an easy to learn program that will give you the ability to layout your furniture, this program is for you.
