3D CAD 7 Professional - Plan & design buildings from initial rough sketches to the finished blueprints - CAD and architecture software

If you have any interest in architecture or designing buildings, this is the way to go. The program is simple and easy to use, yet detailed and full of lots of awesome features. The 3D objects and the ability to export models to Maxon Cinema 4D put this program above its competitors.

This professional architectures software should have been left exactly to those pros. I ordered this software expecting to use it to help me in a project to remodel my home. It turned out to be far too complex for an amateur like me. A professional well versed in architectural design and other program used in that field could probably get great benefit from this software, but I found the program confusing and not intuitive for a beginner. Id didnt make too much headway after some video tutorials I found, though I can say that these tutorials did show that this software has many features. I hope that the producers of this program give consideration to putting out tutorials and guides targeted more toward the non-specialist, if only to generate a wider market for what they must have put considerable resources into developing.

GARBAGE!! No volume on videos

This program is for someone who is already experience with similar programs. I contacted the company and they

This software has a bit of a learning curve to it, but once you put in the time to figure it out, it makes sense. There is a lot it can do when it comes to designing your home. If you are willing to sit and figure it out, its a great choice.

Once i took the time to go through all the help i was able to use this tool. I will say once you get the hand of it works great. They have lots of resources to help you.

Love the program. Just wish the training videos were updated to work properly no sound on videos

When I first used AutoCAD 2.5 on a 80286, I lacked an 80287 or Weitek. I also had no idea what I was doing. Sure enough, I was a kid armed with 1.2MB disks, but no real understanding of 2D CAD software. A few years later I actually was pretty proficient with AutoCAD 10 (having a mouse definitely helped). Since then, Ive used a number of CAD packages for Windows and Unix, and use FreeCAD for my personal use. While FreeCAD is fine (as was SketchUp when Google still owned it), I was curious what Ashampoos 3D CAD 7 Professional would bring to the table, as its a commercial product.

The product has a steep learning curve, it doesnt have a manual so you have to youtube or trail and error.

I installed this on my workstation to work on building my dream home. I have started building this home in multiple softwares but havent found one that does EVERYTHING yet. Most of them only allow sketches or only let you put in finishing touches.
