Chief Architect Better Homes & Gardens Home Designer...

Great Product,
My wife and I have been planning to remodel our kitchen. A friend recommended BHG Home Designer. It was easy to install, and within an hour we had a plan of our current kitchen down to the tile floor and cabinet woodgrain. We drew four walls, made a 3D view, and then were able to add and resize cabinets, appliances, windows, and lights. The best thing was that my wife and I can sit down together and design different kitchens, save and modify them later. Next, I am going to model my entire home and test different exterior paint colors. I understand that the landscaping tools are just as good as the home design tools. I can't wait to use them.

Nice Software Package

Strengths: Easy installation, video tutorials,

Weakness: Difficult to change existing designs

This software package was very helpful in designing our bathroom remodel. It was simple to install, and has run on Windows XP just fine so far. It has video tutorials to explain basic processes, which makes it easy for beginners (like myself) to use it.

Overall a simple program for home design novices who want to put together a basic plan without confusing customization.

Strengths: fast 3d

Weakness: useless for international use

It's unbelievable but you cannot set metric dimensions in this program. Apart from that the common european 'house in a row' is difficult or impossible to design. Common constructions like double brick walls - not there. Uneven roof types: no. Standard house construction: wooden poles. Don't let me laugh. The only funny thing of this product is that it creates 3d images fast.
