Home Designer Pro

I personally enjoy using this much more than AutoCAD or any other general-purpose software

I began with the 2012 version of Home Designer Pro. It was good, and I quickly realized I needed more ... much more for what I do. Home Designer Pro is awesome.

This is a great product that will allow me to grow in to a hobby Ive been away from for a while. Ive got a lot to learn but the help videos are very useful. Still early, still learning but very glad I made the purchase.

Since I purchase this software I had someone else to call the Tech Support twice for assistance for the same problem, the toolbars blanks out and I was unable to bring it back. Currently (3rd) time I have the same issue, which I havent call for assistance myself because of your office hours, I had to asked another individual to call on my behalf, dont want to explain. I like this design software, but the recurring problem with the toolbars are a pain. Not a happy camper.

Lacks sufficient tech support. Does not include user manuals (Can be printed separately at significant cost). Not for the technologically challenged. Take note of the significant computer requirements. Anything less than the recommended capabilities (i.e., minimum requirements) will make this program pretty useless.

Although I am just learning the software, I think it great that it will not install anything into a plan that’s not up to code!

Customer support for this product is fantastic. You upload your question, and by the next business day you have an answer.

Lets start with the most important thing: Amazon sells the 2021 version. The current version is 2023. If you want the current version, best to go direct. The listing does not specify which version, and I was surprised to get the old version. No offer of upgrade, just Amazon sells the old version on contacting them. The version should clearly be listed on Amazon.

I purchased HomeDesigner Pro in 2018. I used it to model the changes we were doing for our house remodel. Some features were easy to use, others were very difficult. In particular, the roofing features were very difficult, non-intuitive and had a steep learning curve. The training videos were too simplistic. Auto-roofing couldnt be used, because I needed to make it look like MY roof ... not some auto rendering.
