Great if you have no idea what kind of Deck you want to build,
By
This review is from: Landscape, Deck and Patio Designer with NexGen v2 (CD-ROM)
I have been searching for a good, but in expensive, program for helping me get some ideas for building a deck and patio for my back yard. I basically "took a shot in the dark" and decided to buy this program (Office Max was the cheapest I found - ~$40). I was very apprehensive about this software because I had not had luck with similar software in the past, plus reviews for version 1 were not that great. However, I have been pleasantly surprised so far. It takes a little time to "enter" you house floor plan to get it ready for your deck ideas, but once you are there the program is great. The software gives you a lot of deck and patio templates to choose from, plus you can easily make changes to these templates to customize it to your home (i.e. it is very flexible). Most of the reviews I read on Amazon (on version 1) say that the program is not user friendly. I found it relatively easy. If you can navigate around Photoshop, CAD and similar programs, you should be able to use this program fine. If you have difficultly with productivity programs such as Photoshop or Excel and such, then you will likely have a hard time. There are a couple of glitches in the software, but nothing that causes a major crash or loss of material (just some minor inconveniences). I started using the software on a Thursday and by Sunday I feel I am about 80% proficient with it (working/playing on it for about 2 hours per day) and already have a design for a deck and patio. Bottom line: the program does what I wanted it to do, its relatively easy to use and its working above my expectations.

Not Really What I Needed,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Landscape, Deck and Patio Designer with NexGen v2 (CD-ROM)
I purchased this software so that I could design and build a deck. Turns out it does not give you the actual wood sizes and configurations for the deck. So it works as far as visualizing the deck, but it does not give you any information on how to actually build it in terms of what size lumber to use and where. The program loads good and I was up and running fairly quick, but it is not really what I needed.
