 Very limited, 2006-06-10
I picked up this program because it was cheap and I wanted something to test out some ideas about features to put in a house.
The program has a fun little camera that lets you walk around the house and see the room from any perspective. You can play with furnishings and hang pictures on the wall. All in all, it felt a little like playing with a little girl's doll house.
However I don't want to play with dolls, I want to design a house for me to live in so I went at it with this program.
Lets play with some fancy rooms like octagons and circles... oops the program only has a set number of room shapes and they all have straight walls and 90 degree angles.
OK, so I won't use their canned rooms, I'll put the walls together to make my own... oops the program won't let you draw a room inside a room: the walls refuse to close. The program also won't recognize your ring of walls and a floor as a 'room' so you cannot build anything around it and fit the roof over either.
Hum well maybe I'll try a split level or a sunken den... ooops- you cannot define the elevation of the floors you get first floor and second floor and nothing inbetween. Funny, there default steps are 3 feet high, but stairs always take you one whole floor, not two or three steps.
Oh well, I guess all just have to make do with a 2-story house with rectangular rooms... oops the closets have to be 'rooms' since the extra walls refuse to join inside a 'room' and what happened to that door I put there- oh its buried under 15 walls that spontaneously popped up right on top of each other. Hope you don't mind the roof in the middle of your stairwell from the wing of the house. And you just stretched that wall 1in too far now your room won't fit until you pull all of them apart and why is that exterior wall sticking out 6 inches when the rooms were sized identically why do I keep seeing daylight at the junction between these rooms even though they have 25 walls stacking up there and ARGGG!! I give up.
