Home design software compatible with Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 7 - Plan and design buildings from initial rough sketches to the finished blueprints - 3D CAD 8 Architecture

Something like this should be easy to use right out of the box. If I have to open the manual for anything other than advanced analytics, it’s a bad product. Well… I’m sick of opening the manual. Maybe I’m just not smart… I did drop the Christmas tree on my head this year… but seriously. This is just not easy to use or figure out. Find something else.

Its asking for a product key which it doesnt seem to have come with

You get what you pay for. I purchased this software to do a simple floor plan for an extension to our home. After spending an hour fiddling with drawing walls or at least trying to, I gave up. (I’ve worked with other CAD programs and this has got to be the worst of the bunch.) This software is difficult to use and not intuitive at all.

Given all the applications that I have had to learn over the years, I fairly familiar with how to learn and navigate through new applications. This Home design software compatible with Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 7 applications is challenging. It isnt as intuitive as Id hoped. When I went to view the 2D dimensions, it was very small and it took me forever to figure out how to keep the focus when I zoomed in.

I ordered this program to help in the designing of several home improvement renovations. I have had the program for several months, and I am still trying to get the hang of it...so no completed room designs (Was starting by planning a kitchen)

This package is obviously European as the units are not USA standard. Once I set the primary units as feet, the density was still metric(kg/m3) as were several other units critical to construction and the option for SAE units did not exist. Even after setting the units to feet, when I attempted to lay in a foundation as a rectangle with the grid snap set at half feet, the dimensions continued to be in decimal inches and I could not set the foundation to the desired 34 by 44 but instead had to be satisfied with 34.xx by 44.yy. I was not pleased with this program at all. It is possible that it was a learning curved but having retired as an engineer and having extensive experience with AutoCAD, either I got really stupid when I retired or this program is poor. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

The product is hard to use. It looks is not intuitive and lacks a lot in usability.
