The program is more like CAD than I expected. I have an earlier version and expected it to be similar. So it will take a little longer to get onto. 5 Today 3D Home Architect Deluxe I use this program extensively. My husband is a contractor involved primarily in home improvement and/or additions. I use 3D Home Architect Deluxe to design the addition/change/improvement and we are able to demonstrate to the client, prior to beginning of work, how the finished project will look. It's an added plus for us as well as the homeowner. We attach an initialed copy of the plan to our contract to avoid any possible future disagreements about the original agreement. Some clients even come to my home office to utilize the "3D" element of the program and get a "true feel" for the project and make any final changes/adjustments based upon what they see. Altogether, it's a wonderful program with an excellent tutorial and easy to use. I have used 3D Home Architect Deluxe to design entire homes, not just for our clients but ourselves as well. I recently completed the design for a home we plan to build and it saved us major $$$ as I was able to present the architect with a highly workable plan which enabled him to provide our blueprints for a much reduced price. Highest recommendations to the contractor or those like myself who simply like to design homes. 5 Today No substantial support, product does not perform properly In installed this product on a Dell Optiplex GX110 (admittedly not the latest, but still a very standard machine) running Windows 2000 with 512MB of memory. In spite of spending literally hours with the software I was unable to get it to produce an outline or dimensioning of a wall being drawn by dragging the mouse, as clearly illustrated in the accompanying video. Without this feature it is virtually impossible to efficienctly produce exterior or interior walls. Multiple emails to Broderbund have produced autoreplies suggesting that I refer to their Website for help. This site is essentially worthless for all but the most fundamental problems (like not being able to read the install CD). It would also appear that this product is picky about the hardware it supports and also the version of driver. Be prepared for possible frustrations with this product, with little support from the manufacturer. I cannot report on other features of the software because I was never able to produce even the walls of a structure! 1 Today CRASH I've used CAD programs written in the 80's that are better than this. I'll go back to Drawing Board 1.0 over this thing. Not user friendly. I can hardly draw a few walls without it crashing. JUNK 1 Today Corner cabinets, how to make? Having trouble figuring out how to make a corner cabinet for sinks. Any help will be appreciated. Krohr 4 Today Broderhund?... never again!! I'm glad I only invested less than 30 dollars for this. It is so frustrating, the least user-friendly program I've ever seen. It's less than intuitive, you cannot select any object easily, any command needs either more than three clicks or a subtle combination of selection/right click/selection/enter. That is true even if you just want to move or rotate any object. Building the walls already took me a couple of hours. Some default features forbid you to personalize some shapes such as stairs. Furniture management goes from way too much details for dozens of cabinets to totally inexisting type of furniture (I couldn't find the rugs for example). And it's not possible to create your own, personalized shapes. I may have missed something and certainly didn't go through boring tutorials but I expect such software to be intuitive to the common, particularly if they are supposed to simplify access to CAD. 1 Today 3D Home Architect 5.0 is really awful, sorry to say. I lost my copy of 3DHA 3, so some time ago I purchased the 5.0, and it's awful! It's baffling that a newer version could be so much worse that a previous one. It's very difficult to use... you try to draw a wall one way and it appears in the wrong direction! The graphics are poor... you try to add a floor or carpet and it disappears. Don't waste your time! Sorry Broderbund. I'm hoping that the version 6.0 is better. I liked the 3DHA3 a lot. 1 Today 3d HOME ARCHITECT 5 MISSED THE BOAT This product doesn,t support Windows 98 unless you have Windows 98 SE I have never bought a product that supports only 98Se and newer operating systems. I guess Broderbund wants to be on the bandwagon when 98 goes away but that will be a long long time since about 90 percent of the world is still using win98. 1 Today Leaves much to be desired A few years ago, when designing 2 rooms at my office, I became fluent in most of the off-the-shelf, under $100 design programs. I recall switching between 2 applications that each had great features, and would have made a perfect product if merged. One was 3D Home Architect 3, the other (which I can't recall the name) had some similarities to Home Designer 6. Having just tried 3D Home Architect 5 & Home Designer 6, I still have the same feeling: each has very strong & very weak points. Having now sampled both applications, I can't seem to figure how so many people posted hate for 3DHA. I think it's a tie between the two. My big criticism w/ HD6 is that you cannot manually change wall dimensions. It was incredibly tedious to recreate rooms based on the dimensions I had. Apparently, the pro version ($500) allows this function, but I wasn't going to pay that for my little project. When you click a wall you've created in 3DHA, it displays measurements to every other nearby wall. You then can click any of those measurements to resize it manually. This is the absolute most logical way to get exact measurements. In HD6, the library of items is pretty skimpy compared to 3DHA. 3DHA easily allows custom items to show in the 'library' so it's easy to reuse them. As for the 3D rendering, 3DHA really sucks. It is incredibly difficult to get the camera view into custom positions. This is where HD6 is best. You can arrange multiple cameras in your layout, each corresponding to another rendered window. You can also double-click the camera in the layout & it brings up other view settings such as height & field of vision angle. As for working w/ your layout, 3DHA allows you to drag a selection tool over multiple items, creating a multiple selection. You can then move all of those items at once, or select their properties. For changing the color of multiple items, this is great. HD6 does not allow you to select multiple items & then change characteristics of them. Imagine having a room you want to change the color of all of the cabinets. According to my findings, in HD6 you'd have to change each cabinet one by one. In 3DHA you would just hold the shift key & select all of the cabinets, then make your changes. Maybe I'm asking for too much from <$100 programs, but it sure seems both programs make it much harder to do things then they have to. 3 Today I won't buy anything from Broderbund again 3D Home Architect is a complete crock. I have attempted to use it many times. After hours of reading and playing with it I am still unable to perform the most simple task. I own V1.3 of this software and it outperforms the current version by light years. I also spent lots of time trading emails with Broderbund in an attempt to obtain either additional product support or a refund and I got nothing. So henceforth they will not see another dime of my hard earned $.
