Works for me I wanted to buy this software for a while, but the mixed reviews were a deturrent. I found hgtv H&L Platinum sute at target for $32 around christmas i had to get it. I have found that this software has been very good. for all the negtive marks that i have read almost none have been true. My sister and i were able to wall the house in under an hour. we did have very good drawings of the house with percise measurements. At this time i have only done the kitchen, but we had to draw the whole house.Cons. found that you can only do one color on a wall no design. appliances are few and ulgy. the viewing angles took time to find out how to use right.Pros. all around very easy to use. all the doors, cabinets, windows, you could want. walk around feature very useful. The pros far out way the cons even if i can’t think of any more, this is my first review and probably my last lol. i hope this helps someone on the fence about this product. i do have some computer experence but not much, so for a novice it would be fine. i found if i just play around with the software i could find out everthing i need to know.
Good software I bought this to lay out a house we’re purchasing, specifically to visualize a major kitchen redesign. Having seen the mixed reviews, I made sure to watch the video tutorials. This is not a piece of software that you can learn to use by trial and error. But once you watch the tutorials and read the help, it’s pretty easy to use and to construct your space. The 3D rendering for visualization is good.What I would improve: have lots and lots more objects (furniture, fixtures, etc.). The ones they give you are fine, but more would be better. Also, I found it difficult to create just a countertop (i.e. without a cabinet). It can be done, but it’s a bit cumbersome.Overall, it’s a great piece of software for the price. Just be sure you invest the time up front to learn it. They payoff to be able to visualize changes without paying a cent for paint or fixtures and without having to move a muscle to rearrange a room is worth it.Edit: Had to revise my 4 star rating to a one star. After a week of work putting my new house together, I saved the file and hibernated my laptop. It would not start back up, so I rebooted it. When I fired up the software, it told me the file was in use or had restricted permissions. Neither was the case. After getting up to third level support with the company, they established that the file was corrupt, as was the backup the software was supposed to have made. They basically left me with a pat on the back and a “Good luck to you, pal.” My work went down the drain. I was assured that it was normal for a file to become corrupted when power was lost. Sadly, they must have missed the last 15 years of software development where we discovered things like atomic writes and data consistency (I mean, when was the last time you had a corrupt file in Microsoft Word? Word 97? Or perhaps you get a lot of corrupt file messages on your iPhone? I thought not.). I asked to get in contact with one of their software developers to get some information on the file structure so I could potentially resurrect my hard work. I was told that wasn’t possible – they are all overseas. That explains a lot.So I’d like to recommend this software, but I can’t if you value your time above $0/hr. Keep on looking.
