Summary: Useful
Review: As a designer, this is what I recommend to my clients as I can take what they've created and expand upon it. I find other so called personal CAD programs to be nothing more than just pretty pictures.

Review: I know how to learn software, but this one had me screaming at my monitor. I ended up sending the maker a very short note, "I HATE your software!"

Summary: I hate it What a waste of good money
Review: I was so disappointed. I wanted it for interior design ideas and it can render a 3d of your room but it is cumbersome and hard to figure out. I never have trouble with software but I cannot get the hang of this. It also has this lousy landscape program that I cannot get working. It completely bombs if you try and use it with Windows 2000. I could never recommend this software

Summary: Great surprise!
Review: I was very hesitant to purchase this software after reading the reviews... most were dismal! Once I received and installed the software, I had my first plan within 1 hour. I had my first perspective within another 30 minutes! I've already tried several different floor plans and have eliminated down to the best 2 options. What a great tool! My remodeling plans are now ready to begin discussions with the contractor.To be objective, maybe it was easy for me because I made my living, 20 years ago, designing and drawing plans? But in those days, it was all by hand - no computer in sight, let alone software... I don't do "steep learning curves" well or complicated tutorials - and I can be impatient. This was a breeze, I highly recommend it.

Summary: Broderbund HomeArchitect Easiest to master - fast results
Review: Iam a Real estate broker, and my father is a retired architect. I frequently need to make realistic floorplans with interior details such as cabinets, appliances, etc for clients. The first program of this type I used was Broderbund's 3DHomeArchitect. After trying the others, I keep coming back because of the simplicity of Broderbund's. The others may have more capability, more realistic looking views, etc. etc., but when you need to learn the program, and make a plan of your existing home, or a floorplan for an addition or a sample design to give to the city planning department or your architect, there is nothing that works faster, and with plenty of completeness than this program.

Summary: I really enjoy this software
Review: My husband and I have completely gutted a very old house and needed some help visualizing the re-building process. I bought this in spite of the bad reviews because I could find no similar programs that anyone seemed to like better. Therefore I was not expecting much and have been pleasantly surprised! The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is the annoying AOL stuff. I go through a great deal of trouble to keep my PC's AOL-free. The learning curve was substantially less than many things I have used. My husband and I both did the tutorial, which took a couple hours and got us up-to-speed in no time. Any new software takes some time and patience to learn. It was incredible to see our new-old house take shape! Some things we thought would work, we have reconsidered. And we got some new ideas. I have not tried the landscaping feature yet, but the inside of the house comes first. It is only my opinion, but I think this is a pretty good program that has done exactly what we wanted it to do with a reasonable learning curve.
