Download/Homepage
If you go to the home page address, and hit the icon on the left
that says "buy now"; about half way down the page it
takes you to, you will see, 2 boxes, one that says "download
with help files" and one that says "download without
help files" ]although why anyone would want it without help
files, I'm not sure]. Also, there is an error in the installed
size number, with the help files, installed, this program takes a
little over 13 1/2 MB.
This program is great! Not to mention that with all the different
areas it covers, if you were getting the software out of a
catalog, you would need 5 separate programs or more, just to
cover what this one does alone. The only thing it lacks is a full
scale landscape designer, and that doesn't mean you can't show
the outside, and the walk around the building; just that you
won't get marigolds without drawing them yourself.
There is 5 pre-done projects, 21 catalogs, and 24 templates. Some
of the catalogs are Eddie Bauer Home, Different building
materials, color schemes, lighting, Office goodies, space,
nature, and all kind of accessories. With this catalogs, you can
design and build castles, apartment buildings, homes, offices,
outdoors, and even the solar system. Everything is drag and drop,
and there are multiple buttons that allow you to rotate and
object, size to grid, size to part, and many more. There are
multiple ways you can view your creation, You can color it any
way you want, and even add pictures to the wall.
When you are finished with your masterpiece, you can save it as a
.bmp or a .jpg; however, I found out the hard way, do not save
these in the project folder, which comes up when you hit save as.
This will cause an error, and the project file will not open at
all till you remove them. Also I was unable to print them while
in 3Drealism, however, going to my normal graphics program, I was
able to view them and print them. I was also not able to save the
project as a partially finished project, when I tried to save it
as a .stp [which was what the other projects were named, the save
button was grayed out; and I was unable to open any of the image
files. This, obviously, comes under the heading of things you
acquire after registering.
There is also viewers, such as a catalog viewer, so you can see
if, lets say, this couch comes with pillows or what. There is
full 360 degrees of movement of everything you see, and a camera
with a top side and front mode, with tiny adjustments, just in
case you almost got it.
.
It also has a create project wizard that will walk through the
steps; with measurements precise enough for someone serious. So
you can do a serious floor plan, design a house or office, or
build a fantasy world-how about the wild, wild, solar system
outside your living room window, with the planets where you want
them! It might look a little expensive at first glance, but by
the second and third glance I think you'll change your mind, and
start saving up!
