2.0 out of 5 stars
Bad, Very, Very Bad...,
This review is from: 3D Home Architect Home & Landscape Deluxe Suite Version 9 [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)
I liked Home Architect Version 8, but then I tried Version 9 because I thought it would be better. After 10 minutes of this program, I wanted to toss it out the door. See, this program isn't owned by the original company anymore, they're owned by Punch! Software.- Any means to customize objects such as Counters or Appliances have been removed. You can Scale them, but you cannot increase or decrease the width. - If you have knowledge with 3DS Max, you could create a 3D Object, but otherwise you need to use the Objects that Punch! provides. Sacrifices will be made because many vital 3D Objects won't be available. Want to rotate your Object? No problem! Each time you want to do it, just click on Edit, click on Rotate, type in the Number of Degrees to Rotate, click on the "Degrees" button, then click Okay. In the previous version, each Object would have a Square and a Triangle. You'd just click on the Triangle on the Object, then Rotate. That's been removed. The Generate Project has been removed. Want to know what you have used? What the project will cost? Too bad. They removed the Design Wizard completely. The reason I liked 3D Home Architect was because it was different than AutoCAD or DeltaCAD. Those who weren't too knowledgable with those two programs could try 3D Home Architect because the Easy-to-Use Software was more driven towards people who just wanted to make up a quick Floor Plan. It took me over an Hour just to build the Kitchen. The counters just would not align themselves properly. Objects seemed incomplete, or improperly designed. Remember the Grid Lock, Object Lock, or Alignment Lock? They've been removed. Getting a specific Camera View on your House no longer exists. You're just given a 3D Model of your home that you can walk around with the Mouse. You could do that in the previous version too, but they stripped out all the other Features in 3D Mode. Sure, you can purchase this product, you could download it at their website but there's no Trial Software, No Refunds, No Exchanges... It says there's Refunds or Exchanges on the website, but they don't tell you which ones. EVEN with the Proof of Purchase, tough luck. If the developers happen to read this, 3D Home Architect WAS a GREAT program. This is just incomplete. It's like you've released it way too early. I have an idea... Go back to Schhol for Programming & Design because Version 9 is just a headache. It's incomplete, and much more inaccessible, difficult, and frustrating than Version 8. A Trial Version really needs to be offered, otherwise you're just conning people out of $40.00+ per product sold. To everyone else, I've said my piece. You're welcome to purchase it, but I guarantee that once you've seen just how bad this program is, you'll want your money back.

I am really disappointed with the software,

This review is from: 3D Home Architect Home & Landscape Deluxe Suite Version 9 [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)
I have purchased this software based on the Review "Home Design Software Reviews 2007" and this software is rated as second. I have been using "3D Home Architect Home Design 6" before which I find it by far much better then this. For me buying this software was really a waste of time and money:- 3D rendering takes a lot of my machine resource and time; untill you get fustrated; - 2 door styles only are provided; - 2 types of 3D rendering only are provided. No option to add additional camera; - you cannot edit any object in 3D view. - objects have no or limited properties to play with... After wasting this money I am now only looking to upgrade my old software with landscaping which I have been unable to get any upgrate...

lame,
This review is from: 3D Home Architect Home & Landscape Deluxe Suite Version 9 [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)
I got this program because on another site i was surveyed as the second best of all design programs of its size. This program pretty much sucks. I have version 6.0 and thought that was nice, although lacking in many aspects. In it you can view the frame work and print out a pseudo-blueprint. I have experience in framing and manually drawing framing plans so the frame generation on 6.0 was pretty close. Close enough to pass code. Also, 6.0 allows for FAST circular rooms. I build Southwest style homes and circular rooms are a must.I got version 9.0 thinking it had value adding features. Realized after a few hours that they actually took away most of the features away. No circular rooms, no frame view, hell, no ceiling tool! I can't figure out how to put a ceiling in there! On the bright side, it does allow to design some Santa Fe style houses...custom roof pitches, and vigas. nice.... This program is an overall dissapointment. Would have been nice if i could design some elements in 6.0 then import it into 9.0 for other elements then reimport it into 6.0 for the frame view...but it's basically a fresh, new program. Should be called 1.0. Seems like i'll have to pay $2500 for a home design program like Chief Architect or SoftPlan.
