Domain Name Com's - Software : Total3D Home Deluxe 6.0

- AWFUL! Software that does not work!!!
I have NEVER been so displeased with a software purchase. I have a modern computer, with 3.0 GHZ processor power and 1GB of Ram, running XP SP 2. This POS crashes every few minutes, randomly. To the desktop. No explanation, no "sorry, we crashed", just one minute the software is there, the next it's gone.
FURTHERMORE, the only reason I bought this was that I had made a floor plan using the "3.0" version of this product. I put 3.0 in quotes because there is HARDLY ANY DIFFERENCE between the 3.0 version and this "6.0" version. I was having a few problems with the 3.0, so I figured this would have been more advanced and better handled modern systems. WRONG!! They added a pitiful "Photo Object" feature, where you can insert a digital photo into your home picture. Sound cool! NO! This object acts essentially as flat screen that will turn around to face you wherever you are looking at it. You are not making a 3d object, you are putting in a 2d surface that spins around facing you, with no interaction between it and the lighting or other features of the rendering. Oh, the "6.0" version of this nasty software doesn't even have as many objects (desks, chairs, beds, etc) as the "3.0" version!

FINALLY, I can't even USE my old files, because everytime I try to save them after loading them in "6.0" I get that lovely crash to desktop.

DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE EVER!!!!!!!

- An OK program, depending on what you need it for
Unlike many of the other reviewers, I am having no problems using this product. No crashes (running WinXP Pro on a 300 MHz Celeron from 1999). This may be because I am only using it to model a 1000 sq. ft. condo.

This program is a fine one for testing interior design ideas. I'll be ther first to tell you that the tutorials, help, and manual are horrible. It took me 2 days to figure out the main power of the program (which isn't really mentioned in the manual). This program is great if you have objects or textures that you want to import and apply to walls, floors, or the generic furniture in the program. It also has a lot of power when you start browsing the product catalog (note: Items in the catalog are separate from items in the program, but can be imported and look ok when they are.). When using the program, learn to use the product catalog, import features, and design center early. It's confusing, but it will be worth it. I am still confused by this process (along with many others).
This program is very counter-intuitive, but there are ways to figure stuff out. Expect to get part done with a project and then realize that you have to start over. YOU CAN GET GOOD INTERIOR DESIGN IDEAS AND RESULTS FROM THIS PRODUCT BUT NOT MUCH MORE. It is not 'Home Designer' software. Don't expect to design a house and give the plans to your builder.
I only paid $25 for this program and am glad I didn't pay the MSRP of $40. It's worth the money I paid for it. If I wanted something better I would have gone with BHG's Home Designer Suite 6. You can download a demo at Chief Architects website. It's a better program, but costs 3-4 times as much.
You can decide for yourself. If you're actually building something (addition, whole house, etc.) don't go with this program, it won't help you at all. If you just want to see what your living room will look like with a different color paint, floor, or furniture then it's worth a shot.

- THIS IS WORTHLESS
This program was only good for making a color board. It also takes up a lot of memory/space on the computer, and manuevering the camera in the walkthrough is a nightmare!!! For an easier program where you can download a sofa, end table, etc, you see on the internet, and rendering very photo realistic pictures, I suggest trying two products for home design: Custom Home 3D Design and 3D Home Architect Professional 5.

- Totally Atrocious
I whole-heartedly agree with all the reviewers who have given it a 1 star.

One of the Most Un-Intuitive software ever built. UI sucks. Help sucks. For example, there are a bunch of buttons / labels that have no mention in the help. TYpe the exact same thing that a label is saying, and you find nothing.

These folks have just thrown in a bunch of "features" to hype up this nonsense of a product. You can't even change the units of measurement, can you beat that ?

Let me quote just Some of the many many outrageous things :

1. No way you can change the units of measurement, no way to specify your "scale". This is so basic for any charting tool.

2. The manual forbids you from building plans using just walls, you "have" to use "rooms". And once you do, you cannot delete the walls of your rooms. You can only make them "invisible" but they keep coming in your way whenever you try to fix a door or a window etc.

3. Create an elevation for one of your rooms and then switch to aerial view, "gaping empty gaps" show up on your walls now.... yeeeks.

4. You cannot resize your roofs or customise their angle of elevation in different places.

5. They dont even support spiral staircases...

Well, I have been struggling for a few days trying to make some sense out of this product and produce an useful diagram with no luck, even though I am an experienced developer myself :-(

the list goes on.... These guys must be put in jail for wrapping up this total piece of trash in this beautiful box with wonderful claims...

- Total Garbage
My computer crashed multiple times. Frustrated I looked for online reviews to see if it was my computer or the software. Well..it is the program...this is a joke. Don't even bother.
