I expected it to be much better than the much cheaper 3DHome Architect from the same software developers but it was not. I am now I am stuck with it. Should be $39.95 and not $99.00. I bought it thinking that it was more like the Home Designer Pro, which I bought a previous version of it 4 years ago but they don't support any longer.
