Customer Reviews:
 Could it be any worse?, 2007-08-07
I have experience with CAD drawing and other engineering drawing programs. While they all require a learning period before they are easy to use, this program never achieves that status. It is as if they took a bunch of different modules, each with different commands and vocabulary and slapped them together in a package.
Examples: The "Landscape" editor insists on slapping the landscape clean through buildings with basements. Roof pitch is a compound series of menus hidden in different parts of the program. There is no "Grab and move" feature to allow control of the roof line. It's nearly impossible for you to get interior walls to meet the inside of a roof without projecting through or missing entirely.
Common door styles are missing and if you want to update any inventory items you get to download a 176MB file hoping that what you want is in there. Walls don't snap square. The video "Help" is primitive and never completely covers a topic. The help index is missing almost everything you need help with.
In short... a huge waste of time and money. Do it with a ruler before you buy this program.
