    Not as good as expected. Maybe the higher priced version would be better.

    I've had auto cad and BIM classes and wanted something for home. The tutor included with the software in not very helpful and if you can finally find the right number to call for help, be prepared to get out your credit card.

    This software was impossible to use. One has to be more adept than my husband and I to figure out how to accomplish what we wanted.

    The is the worse program of this type I have ever used. I have many programs that do a better job. I got this thinking it would add to my collection of programs. Instead I just wasted my money.

    I tried to work with this software, but I am obviously architecturally-challenged because I just could not "get it". I guess I need kindergarten simple.

    Initially liked it for the first 4 minutes of use until I noticed that the choices were not as extensive as I thought even with the updates....I wish the landscaping cd would incorporate photos into the process. ...I should have read more reviews
