Home Designer Suite

hoping i would be able to input the correct number in the size box...

This product made my computer shut down, couldnt get it to work. Once I removed the software, computer is fine.

Seems to me that this is an upgraded version of the program I had back in the 90s. I was a little disappointed in that, but like I said it did what I needed.

Still learning my way through it

Not as user friendly as an older model that I used.

When I had Windows 7, I had this and couldnt get enough of it! Fun to use and it can meet the needs of most creative minds!

I have been a designer for the better part of 20 years. I am versed in most major CAD based design programs and have had a successful career doing it. In order to simplify the purchase of materials for an addition we are doing, I decided to purchase this software as it is supposed to calculate needed materials. NOTHING is intuitive about this software. EVERYTHING works differently than you would expect. They dont offer any guides on this software, they are all in the Pro version. If I can explain it best, I would put it this way. In an attempt to simplify things for people that dont know what they are doing, they have tried to automate the entire process. In doing so, have taken away the ability to actually tell the software to do what you want. Roofs are a particular nightmare. When I have an existing structure, I dont want the program automatically changing things every time I click something. That building has been there for 200 years. I will try and get my money back, we will see what happens...

The program was delivered on time and was easy to install. The program lacks some features but has many other features that my former program did not.

Purchased the Home Designer Suite 2020 to assist in the design of new home. It was easy to install and in less than a week I had an acceptable model of my future building project that I could evaluate in 3D format! I does require some study due to the numerous options and details. I contacted the technical assistance number and had excellent response to fix my problem. Saved a lot of back and forth with an architect and great for a DIY guy.

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 I received an answer within 24 hours that it was probably an out of date video driver.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!
