3D Home Architect Deluxe 5.0

I recently purchased 3D Home Architect Deluxe and I'm very impressed. It's easy to use and the 3D navigation and terrain modelling options are great. I can design my dream house from scratch or modify my existing house with ease. The bright colors and lifelike textures make for a realistic look. It also helps me calculate costs and add accessories and furnishings. Overall, I'm really happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone looking to design their perfect home.

Broderbund company is probably best known for jump-starting the 'consumer level' home design software industry with their landmark 3D Home Design Products: 3D Home Architect®, 3D Home Architect Deluxe, 3D Home Design Suite, 3D Home Design Kit, 3D Home Landscape Designer... originally produced by the folks that create Chief Architect and later by the folks at CADSoft.

Version 5.x of 3D Home Architect is NOT a direct upgrade of previous versions. It is a complete rewrite of the software based upon the Envisioneer CAD engine from CADSoft. The new program has a different interface and it is not compatible with files created in previous versions. Versions 3.x and 4.x were produced by ART using the Chief Architect engine. ART does offer a compatible upgrade to 3D Home Architect version 4 called Chief Architect Home Edition 5.0, which is available through their Web site.
