Questions & Answers
There are no pools in the drop-down menus, but there are pathways, fencing, and landscaping options. I hope this information is useful.
It was delivered on a CD. I believe it is also available for download. After two weeks of trying to get the program to work, I gave up and returned it.
Selected User Reviews For Architect Home Design 5 - Plan, model and design your dream home and landscape
The interface is not user-friendly. The majority of the materials used in software are not widely available in the United States. The symbols provided are not widely used in the United States. If you have enough time and patience, you can create any symbol you want to scale. The roof line can be easily generated if the Floorplan includes a basic geometric shape. The roofline is a mess if you don't stick to squares or rectangles. I'm not sure how the roof line should be displayed in the program. The 3D generator is useful for creating a model of the house. Overall, I was dissatisfied with the effort put forth and the end result; you get what you pay for. Not a good idea.
"QUICK AND EASY TO INSTALL AND USE - user- user-friendly interface, in-depth analysis "Program tutorials and free technical support" The only issue is that the tutorials are in German. There are no English versions available on the internet, as far as I can tell. The interface could, for all I know, be user-friendly. Although the interface is user-friendly, learning how to use it is difficult, and I have used several CAD programs in the past. Fortunately, my husband was raised in a German-speaking household, so I won't be returning it, but I'm not keen on using an interpreter to learn how to use a computer program that claims to be simple. I'm fortunate in that I have enough apples to make a pie for him. If I had to hire someone to truly interpret it for me, I'm sure it would be much more expensive.
The user interface is terrible, and the tutorials are inadequate. I haven't returned it yet, but I won't buy it again.
We bought this one in the hopes that it would be similar to the one we had previously used. Our most recent build was ten years ago, which meant that our old software was obsolete. This item is advertised as having tutorials included. You should be aware that they are not in English! You won't be able to learn how to use this product unless you can read German; I'm not a beginner, and I still find it unusable because it isn't set up to be American-friendly. Purchase a different program to avoid aggravation.
I couldn't get it to start up right away. When I tried to download it, the site they provided was dubious at best; it claimed to run on Windows 10, but I'm not so sure. Most likely, I'll come back. Not good.
The placement is inconvenient, and the adjustments are even more so. I tried an online trial of a much better program and decided to purchase it instead.
Before you hire an architect, make a plan for your new home.
It is not intuitive to use, but once you do, it has a lot to offer.
