    2 out of 5 stars Don't expect too much   January 2, 2003
    11 out of 11 found this review helpful

    I bought this because none of the other more expensive ones had better reviews. I didn't have that much to loose. I made a rough draft of what my "project" room looks like and what I hope it will look like. One important thing to me was to see color changes. That feature didn't really work. There were other bugs in it as well. The furniture and accesories were limited, I had to really use my imagination. Although it was a little fun, this software was not very useful to me.

    Kit comes with two CD's (CD#1 is "3D Home Interiors", CD#2 is "Garden Problem Solver") and a hefty paperback book entitled "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Trouble-Free Home Repair." There is no printed material about the software program in the kit. The program is not highly intuitive, so most of us need to print out the 103-page User's Manual available on CD#1 before we can begin.

    I've been working with the program now for about six hours, and have experienced two (2) crashes, losing significant data, despite backing up as recommended by the program. My system specs: Dell 4400 Pentium 4 at 1.7 GHz, 256MB DDR SDRAM, using MS Windows XP. On a more positive note, the floor plan feature is relatively easy to use and will be helpful in avoiding multiple furniture moves.

    On the whole, I'm disappointed in this Broderbund product. The interior design elements (furnishings) seem to have been chosen at random rather than reflecting the classical pieces most decorators design around. It doesn't take a "complete idiot" to recognize that for [money] most of us are simply looking for a basic interior design program that includes pre-printed and easily referenced instructions (rather than a home repair guide and garden problem solver CD) in a 3D home design kit.

    This book is so totally cool. That's not even the word for it. I bought this for my Mom,and I personally do not like her home improvment junk. But, whe I saw this it was... AWESOME!! 3-D homes you can make yourself right there o you r computer. It is a little hard to learn were things can & can't go, but I recomend this disk to any one.
