This program is not user friendly, regardless of what it says on the packaging. Many common items (water heater, furnace, etc.) needed in building a home are missing. Very disappointed, value not worth it. from Circuitcity.com I purchased 3D Home Architect 6.0 several years ago so I could create plans for interior decorating. I found it to be a great product -- a little cumbersome at times, but the ability to specify exact dimensions for a million tiny details was so satisfying. from Amazon.com I got this for my dad for Christmas and he has had a great time creating ideas for his next home. from Amazon.com Amazon gave fast service. Arrived at my home within a few days. Gave this to my son as a Christmas gift and he is really enjoying it. from Amazon.com I purchased this program direct from the 3dhaonline.com website, because I had used it years before on my old PC...and it did a decent job of producing what I wanted. I was pleased to see that a Mac OS version was available (and this should have tipped me to investigate further before buying). from Amazon.com If you have created files with previous versions of 3D Home Architect, you might be interested in knowing what I finally located on a support forum (http://forums.encoreusa.com/tm.asp?m=29701): from Amazon.com Years ago, I had Broderbund's 3DHA, version 3. It worked fine. from Amazon.com purchased this. Wish I had read these reviews before purchasing it (I got it at a local office supply store). I have a really old (approx 1998) version of 3D Home Architect - it lacks a lot, but is easy to use. I was hoping for some improvements on this one. from Amazon.com I bought this because of its compatibility with Mac OS - but I might as well have stuck with pen and paper. The software is poorly designed, not intuitive, has the worst selection of stock objects I've ever seen, and manages to take the fun out of home exterior/interior design! I wish I could get my money back. from Amazon.com Period. I am a programmer, and I am really annoyed by bad, poorly thought-out software. My first indication was when I went to register, and they required a company name for HOME Architect. This is just plain sloppiness, and it gave me a bad feeling. from Amazon.com
