What's in the Box Landscaping and Deck Designer software on CD and instructional CD. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Talk about frustratingI haven't spent too much time reading the reviews for this product, but judging by the amount of "1" stars, I can tell that I'm not the only one who is fed up with this software after many, many tries to design a simple landscape. The first day I got this software, I built the house, painted the walls green, and aside from a struggle to get the roof to look like my house's roof, it went okay, so I was still optimistic. The next day, I anxiously sat down and started to ... Read More Rating:  - Missing features for even beginnersI live a a house trailer, 15 x 60. Basically a big rectangle. How much more simple could it be? But, it has a skirting raising it 3 ft off the ground. Thus my deck is also raised 3 ft up. An add-on room is an 18" step down. After many tries I gave up trying to get this simple arrangement. The program insists I am either resting on a slab or on a footing and foundation, which I cannot raise the height on. The foundation is automatically set down in the the earth. I have access doors at ... Read More Rating: - Better Shut It Down & Get a Pencil & PaperBetter Homes & Garden Landscaping & Deck Designer 7.5 is a big disappointment. My spouse keeps telling me to quit yelling at this program; shut it down & get out some paper. We'll be done with our design in 2 hours. BHGLDD 7.5 is so user unfriendly. You can't input dimensions into objects. Copy & Pasting objects is difficult....heck, just selecting landscaping objects is a hair-puller. A real hassle. Try to mouse-draw a terrain line next a wall & then select said terrain line to input dimension data ... Read More Rating: - Better Homes and Gardens Landscaping and Deck DesignerI agree with Josh. I've never been so frustrated in my life! What a waste of time and money. I tried it over and over thinking maybe I needed just a little more patience. I'm not sure an engineer with CAD experience could run this program let alone a novice. Don't waste your time. Rating: - terribleThis is the most frustrating program ever. if you want to do land scape design. Your better off with a pad of paper and a pencil. It will take you less time and frustration than this thing will. |
