Landscaping - not for the beginner

I purchased the product for great expectations on being able to redesign my current home, yard and outside environment. The program is hard to use and the instructions are difficult to follow. The instructions are done in small print with the 2 1/2" thick paperback book that comes with the program. I started using the landscaping portion of the program and there are so many steps with installing the plants, trees, bushes, fence and trying to place the slopes of the land, I became very frustrated. The program is powerful but I would not recommend this for a beginner, because of the total number of steps you need to go through in order to get it to do what you want.

This is not just friendly. Used punch software for years and thought I would try this one. Did not like itat all. Very glitchy, hard to move around while in 3d models. Will be sending back for refund!

We've had this for a while and unfortunately have never been able to install it on our computer so I can't say how good or bad it is. It's a waste of money for me.

Program took a lot of trial and error to get to work, but once I figured it out it was nice. Not fully what I was hoping for with visuals, but better than many of the alternatives

This came with a 400+ page book in which this was not mentioned. You don’t know until you open the package. . It was also supposed to come with a disk less code. Didn’t see it anywhere. It came with a disk in which the new laptops don’t take. It is not user friendly and I don’t have the time to sit and read a 400+ page book to learn this program. Better of using the Sims for remodeling!

Doesn't have many of the options available the I would like to use. Previous version had more add in items for building a house. Would recommend only if they have not used any previous versions.

The software is a gem. The help from the Geek Squad to download the software made my life easier.
