I wanted very Simple, not 35 steps to something, wanted to replace a pad and paper, but can do it in 5 minute, worked with this a hour and still at a loss from Amazon.com I just now read the reviews of this product; unfortunately, I did not read them before I purchased this pathetic program. Basically - false advertising. Does not include anywhere near the number of items indicated on the box and queries to Broderbund indicate the items are no longer available. Save your money - get some crayons! from Amazon.com I have had Broderbund Home Designer 5.0 for about 4 months now. Three years ago I used 3D Architect Vers. from Amazon.com I just tried to design a garden for our new house using "3D Landscaping". Despite what the box says, the software contains no templates of gardens that you can modify, just shapes (circles, rectangles, squares) with pre-programmed lot sizes (such as 40' x 110'). from Amazon.com There is no way to lay out a landscape design because you can't put in your house dimensions without buying and installing the 3D Architect package.

This software is miserable.

from Amazon.com I really enjoyed using this software. I just picked trees put them in the drawing space and could even see it in different seasons. from Amazon.com But THIS software is just too much. I bagged it once i realized that just learning how to use it could take up a whole weekend.... I had the same problem with 3D Home Architect 5.0... I loved version 3.0, it took awhile to learn 4.0 but so worth it... from Amazon.com My husband and I are both college educated (my husband is an electrical engineer for a high tech company) and we are struggling to use this product. It takes a lot of work to get a landscape set up and seems more appropriate for landscape professionals. from Amazon.com This software gives you seemingly endless options, which is both good and bad. Good because you can micromanage down to the texture of the bricks in the pathway of your garden, but bad because these powerful tools only get a few lines of explaination in the user's manual. I consider myself to be fairly computer savvy, but the program makes it difficult for you even to join fences to the house properly or add slope to your terrain. I'll spend several more hours trying to see if I can make any progress in learning this program, but I don't think you should have to have a CAD degree just to design some landscape on a computer. from Amazon.com I just tried to design a garden for our new house using "3D Landscaping". from Amazon.com
