Total 3D Home & Landscape 7.0 review:
1 stars (What the...I have to give at least 1 star????) - You want 3D? Popsicle stick models would be more accurate, easier, and you'll have fun eating the popsicles. I could go on (and on and on) about my grievances with this software, but I'll just say these 5 things, which only represent a subset of the pain you can expect if you choose to ignore the warnings here. 1) Marketing people, not the team of 3 that developed the software, should have to be able to demonstrate any of the products claims; severed digits, starting with the thumb, should be the penalty for failure. 2) The manual is no better for mulch or nuclear fusion than it is for using this program (it's the equivalent of "remove foil lid, stir, enjoy!" on pudding cups). 3) Welcome to the nonsensical and unresolvable error generator function of this program: "An exterior wall is missing" is my favorite, because a minute ago it was fine, all the same walls are there, I haven't changed any of them and I was adding a bush in the back yard when the error occurred, and the only way to correct the error is to delete all the walls and start over. 4) Grow plants...AHHHH they're taking over the neighbor's lawn! The daffodils are 14 feet tall and we've got a 140-foot tall dwarf pine! (Not to mention, I'm designing a landscape, so why is the default age for every blade of grass I add 25 years?) 5) Once I had a reasonable replica of my house drawn (and by "reasonable" I mean a misshapen box with a roof over most walls that in no way resembled the place I live but was the end result of...Saturday), I start working on the landscape. For inexplicable reasons, drawing in a fence caused the windows to float 19 feet, 4 inches above the house. The reasonable altho frustrating solution would be to laboriously go back and 1 by 1 rehang them to their correct height, but this beast is not reasonable. The fallback would be to delete all the windows, the fence, and all the landscape. Note that saving drafts before doing anything (I have 15 at this point) doesn't work either.



But the #1 reason you should not consider buying this is that the "100% Satisfaction Guarantee" is 100% bogus. Call the customer support line and you'll get no refund and no support. Sign me up for the class action lawsuit, or I can think of another use for a pitchfork....
1 stars (Read these other user's comments and listen as I did not!) - Everything BAD that has been said already is accurate and I wish I would have reviewed the comments before purchasing.



BAD (1 star is too much)!!

- It has near-child-like renderings

- Slow to perform most tasks

- Hard to work with as you progress in your design

- Great for square home/rooms but forget anything else

- Once you get 4+ rooms the programs lags

- Some objects take 12 tries to delete if at all

- Error messages are useless and vague (easier to start over)

- CRASHES for no reason and at random times with no warning

- No helpdesk to help

- NOTHING on the box is as it depicts

- Llacks critical objects (electrical, HVAC, etc.) but has 2 million tile colors

- Roof design is poor and not flexible

- Plan will not open once it reaches certain size (9+ rooms)

- Training video is weak, no manual, left to play to learn



Save yourself time, money, and frustration, buy another product or nice pencil/paper set.
1 stars (Aweful! I'd rather use my SIMs game to design my home) - The program is terrible. Graphics are aweful. This is not at all user-friendly. Walkthroughs are difficult. And I can't for the life of me figure out how to rotate to delete the staircase I put in. Do not waste your money or time on this product
