This software was useful for home use but did take a little time to learn the ins and outs of the software to become more efficient.

I was hoping for something that would help me do some design projects around our home. The software is cumbersome and requires that you learn the manual to use. I really wanted something more intuitive. If your looking for something easy, this is not it. I would call it a skip.

This was my first purchase of a design program. I figured HGTV would be a great brand since home remodeling is their business. It was pretty easy to learn and to start over. Unfortunately I found it very frustrating that I was limited to the options they had for color/design of cabinetry.

I like the program because you get the feel of the 3D walk through to see what you want to change to add furniture or take it out. The landscaping is nice because if you are doing a already done yard you can move thing to see if you want to take the time to do it and budget the work.

I just started to work with this program and am still learning all the features involved in it!! So far....I love it....I had an idea of what it should do when I went looking for a program for this application....and this has met my expectations and then some!!! It is really easy to navigate...and has pop up help windows to guide you through...so it is pretty much a DIYer's dream program!!!

I needed a way to design some remodeling of my home. This software was a good solution at a much more reasonable prices that other solutions with more functionality that I did not need. I have completed my design work successfully.

I bought this because I'm remodeling my house and wanted to be able to do some "sketching" on my computer without having to pay for time with a designer or contractor. It's not very user friendly, and it's difficult to create things from scratch. It wants me to upload a photo of the existing space, which leads me to believe it's designed more for a room that's already there than a brand new space/addition.
