    I, like others, was having difficulty getting this program to work on my HP. However, I moved it to my husbands Toshiba and it worked beautifully! So, I contacted CS and asked what the problem could be. I received an answer within 24 hours that it was probably an out of date video driver. I checked, and sure enough mine was dated 2014. AMD didnt make it easy for me to update, but I finally did, and now it works great! As far as the program goes, it works pretty well for my purposes, although the library could be a little more user friendly. Sometimes hard to find the piece youre looking for. But all in all, Im very pleased!

    I purchased this product for a remodeling project that would redo a screened porch on our home. On the MacBook, some of the basic user interface operations such as panning and 3D model reorientation are cumbersome or impossible to perform. The program contains architectural jargon that is not easy to interpret by a non-professional. Schedules and layouts that are in Chief Architect appear to be missing In this version (or I have not found them yet). Some automatic operations which appear to be helpful at first become a problem when specific areas of the design are customized then return to the default values.

    As the other reviews say, this software is difficult to learn and use. It is more cumbersome than many other softwares, but that is not the reason for the low score. They do offer many videos and step by step guides on how to use and once you get started learning it, it starts to flow easier. You just need more experience in home building to be able to use this. The reason for the lower review is that everything I read said you can install this software on multiple computers at once, which is true. But what they dont tell you until after you buy it, is that while you can INSTALL it, you can only activate it on one computer at a time. Every time you want to use it on another computer, you have to deactivate the key and activate it on the other computer. If you want to use the software on 2 computers without deactivating, you have to have another key, which will cost you another $100. But no where in their advertising does it say this.

    Plumbing fixtures and dimensions are not available. Makes it pretty hard to plan basic space requirements. the product is quite quirky and requires multiple actions to adjust the working drawing. In hind sight, I should have purchased the more expensive product from another company. Whats more aggravating... this product is non refundable.

    Great software. I used this program to remodel a family room. Im no engineer but I was able to layout an entire room and navigate through a 3D rendering in just a few hours. The program is relatively straight forward. By referring to the on-line tutorials I was able to add more specific features and personal details that brought the renderings to life. For the money, this psoftware includes a lot of powerful features. But if youre designing the transportation hub for a major city, this is not the program for you.

    After my computer crash I ordered this new version of my 10year old previous Home Designer Suite. Surprised to find very little difference from the old one. Easy to use for on the spot designing, great features, and great value for the price. No complaints but hate the fact that you now have to click an icon to move the design. Great design program for quick, easy layouts.
