This product lacks important features. For starters, the symbol library doesn’t have AC equipment or radiators. Another problem is that doest allow you to create or import symbols, or even update or modify existing ones. 3D views and menus are confusing.
Do your homework and probably you can find something better for this price.

My complaint is likely 99% due to my own abilities. I installed this on the weekend with only the goal of drawing a simple floor plan before branching out. Because of the time I installed it, there was no live help.
I struggled with this for an hour or two before giving up. I couldn’t find the answers to what I thought were simple questions, like, how to erase a line.
I’m positive that, with enough training and patience, this is an amazing product. But for someone without that time available, it is much too complicated.
I packed it back up and returned it.

I paid $80 for this? I tried it a few times, and now it’s been collecting dust for the past couple of years.

There is rather a steep learning curve in this program Not all things work as the directions tell you they will, some of the choices are limited, and the color option is rather complicated. But, for the money spent, it is a decent program which will give at least the basics of what you wish to create. I’m not sorry I bought it.

I graduated from college with an interior design degree and now am working in the field part time on my own. This program is easy to use and a great alternative to CAD, if you are a designer or decorator due to all the material options.
