Review Product
I wish I would have read reviews of this product before purchasing it. I bought it from Target for $30. I knew it was not going to be top of the line software, but all I really wanted to was build a model of my home, import pictures of my furniture (which it says you can do), and try out different paint and decorating schemes. Unfortunately, this program is incapable of doing even the simplest tasks.

I have tried to create a model of my home multiple times. The problem is, once I encounter an error in the program and it shuts down (this happens pretty much every time I go from Space or Design Plan view to Walk Through view) my files are corrupted. I have done hours of work getting the measurements of rooms just right, but once the program has crashed, I am no longer able to open my file. I thought perhaps I was asking too much of the program, so I scaled back the house to one floor, then to one room. I finally tried to use one of their sample room plans. As soon as I went to Walk Through view and tried to change paint or fabric colors, the program crashed.

I do not have a wimpy computer. I have an Intel Pentium D 950 (3.4GHz), 2GB of system memory and 256MB of video memory on my NVIDIA GeForce 7800GTX. I can run Adobe Premiere and 3DS Max without encountering problems. I just can't seem to get this software to work.

The only positive thing I have to say is that I enjoyed messing around in the Idea Gallery. There are 20+ pictures of rooms that you can redecorate by selecting a wall, comforter, or window covering and try out different colors and patterns. Unfortunately, even though it told me I was successful in importing my photos and custom textures, I was never able to apply or even view them in the program.

Overall, I'd have say that this software sucks. I strongly advise anyone considering purchasing it to look at other home design programs.
