#CHIEF ARCHITECT HOME DESIGNER SUITE 10 FULL#

Different styles of fixtures and furniture, landscape objects, etc.

The 'Suite' mainly has more template objects that you can use. I have HomeDesigner Suite 10, but not the Pro version. colors to get an idea of what it will look like in real life. How much of the view will the roof overhang on that covered porch block? And for the color coordinated challenged like myself it's nice to change floor, wall, siding, roofing, etc. Also very nice to quickly and easily move things like furniture, walls, and fixtures to try different layouts and configurations to see what works best in the space.Īnd it gives you a feel for what you'll see out your windows. I'm sure these things would have been obvious at a quick glance to anyone with some experience but when you're starting from square one you need all the help you can get. I already had a floor plan I was pretty happy with on graph paper (after many revisions) but the software let me look at things in new ways that made a big difference.īeing able to place things like cabinets and furniture as something other than boxes helped me visualize it better and being able to look at things in 3d from different levels and angles showed me that some things that looked ok from a simple floor plan were a disaster from floor level. I might find it easier to layout a whole house by hand now but when I was just starting the software was invaluable.

Tried using the software but found the old fashioned way easier. I'm laying out my kitchen now and have been using pencil and paper.

I think you need the full blown version for real architectural drawings. I don't know that the $500 version really does any better drawings than the $100 one.
