For the designing purpose, this software is wonderful, but it is not designed to adapt and cater worldwide, so that’s a big con for us. So unless you’re staying in Australia, the cost of materials offered, as well as the suppliers, won’t be of any good to you. Not only building supplies, also home decoration and garden supplies are provided.Ī drawback of this seemingly perfect software, though, is that it was created to target a vastly Australian audience. Moreover its free of cost and it includes details of material and service suppliers alongside- how to contact them, the rates charged etc- so you don’t have to go hunting for a supplier separately once you’ve selected and liked a material. For those who don’t wish to hire an architect, or just want to get an idea of what they want their home to look like so they can instruct the architect likewise this software is perfect. This software offers highly creative and interactive models of objects, surfaces, materials and also determines what the lighting will look like in different parts of the layout. This is great software specifically for those who want to envision and plan what their home will look like, as it shows the user an actual rendering of the effect certain type of construction of say, walls, doors, bathrooms will have on the layout and structure of the home. The simple UI is ideal for a user who is not very experienced in editing and designing online. This software is great for you if you mainly want to view 3D images of a given space, and are not looking for advanced architecture tools. Users have complained of more than necessary mouse control, and lack of sophisticated designing tools. This software is not ideal for floor plans, though you can attempt to use it to create one. Users are free to import backdrop images in JPG, GIF, PICT and a few other common formats. Shapes like circles and rectangles are also available, and so are the cut-copy options. Text messages can be added, and the user is free to make drawings with a virtual pencil. The interface is really user-friendly and allows features such as elevation, projection, lengthening, zoom in and out, adding names to objects and materials and a visual walkthrough experience for the user. This free software offers 3D design for home and floor plans as well as any landscape you wish to see a realistic model of.
