Virtual Architect Ultimate Home Design with Landscaping and Decks

Really easy to use. Put together a floor plan within a 1/2 hour of opening up the software. Instructions are great.

I am furious at myself. I spent two weeks researching DIY design software for a kitchen and living room remodel we are doing. I bought this and it is terrible. ZERO customer service or support. Very limited training. I installed on my desktop, then tried to put it on my laptop it would not allow. Just dont...

Editing my initial review. I HATE this software. Ive tried to work with its limitation and have given up. The developer cares not for bad reviews on Amazon, apparently, so that speaks volumes.

It isnt clear to me how to upgrade to Version 9, which is what I bought. I noticed another reviewer ordered Version 8 and received Version 7. So this may be a trend. That reviewer did not indicate they were able to upgrade on-line. And I didnt see any reply from the shipper. I was impressed with what Version 9 could do, but so far I am not impressed with Version 8. I hope the shipper corrects this. If you dont see an update from me, assume there was no response from the shipper, and try to find a different source or different software.

apparently it was what he needed -

Overall, a good program. It seems a bit light for designs using attic trusses but was able to work around a solution by assuming that the attic truss was a separate building. It may be that I have not yet mastered all of its capabilities.

anything you want to do is a lot of looking up time spent; nothing is intuitive or easily found. Unless its a basic square or rectangle house

I purchased this a couple weeks ago. According the the box its EASY! No Design Experience Necessary Bull! When I opened the box to get the CD, a 494 page users Guide fell out. I dont have time to read a 494 page book before I can use this. I have an older copy of Punch Home Design and Landscaping. It is very user friendly, but I bought a new computer and I cant find the disc. I guess Ill just have to buy the newer addition of Punch. Dont waste your money on this product.

We wanted to enter a floor plan and make adjustments to the dimensions. The product claims to be easy to use, but holy smokes it is complicated. I expected to be able click on a wall and drag it. Or add a wall or a window. Way too many options and is not intuitive.
