I am giving it 2 stars because I believe if you are the person who designed this software then it probably works for you. I do design and remodel work without software and have multiple degrees including MBA. I thought it would take some work but would catch on because I typically learn quickly. I do not recommend this software for anyone novice or experienced. The previous review was accurate on the wall dimension designing. It is not user friendly and I have no problem with learning anything I put my mind to. I read the manual and spent 6 hours trying to correct the basic layout plan. Unless you want to be frustrated and spend way too much time to accomplish nothing than go ahead. I wanted to use this for my current personal fixer upper and to use to show my clients my recommendations and design ideas feeling it would be a nice way to present my plan with options and an estimate. It is not worth using this software even with any customer support. If it is this anti user friendly then it is not worth it. I have designed a reception hall, bathroom and garage/workshop for clients during the time trying to learn this software. Nobody has ever minded my paper sketches and notes but I thought this would be a nice addition to my personal real estate investing and presentations.
Whomever is responding by saying to go to support center, please refrain from telling me that because if I wanted a program that requires that much to get anything accomplished is not worth the purchase. I wish I would have purchased some other software or I recommend you hire a new design staff of remodeling hobbyists and professionals to design this package and fire the software programmers and whomever approved of the final product. I recommend refunding the money for this product to consumers with proof of purchase until you can produce a useful product. FYI… I have a therapy degree with 3.7 GPA, MBA with 4.0 GPA and received all A’s in computer software classes and engineering courses.
A pencil and graph paper works better.,
Two Stars,
I do not recommend this software for anyone novice or experienced,
