3D Home Architect Landscape Design Deluxe 6

The program does not allow the individual contour lines 2 be adjusted 2 match normal landforms! Most frustrating & disappointing!

I bought 3D Home Architect Landscape Design Deluxe 6.0 at the half price book store, so I was a little leery about the purchase.
I gave it the good-ole college try & the package failed after I invested some hours trying 2 fit my complicated ten acre landscape into the package!
In the package/program it assumes you have the standard small building lot, so contour lines go all the way across the lot, not matter how you enter them. I have two ravines, each partially on my lot & they intersect! The stream has two "S" curves across my lot & it enters my lot twice & exits twice. Yes the contour lines have 2 follow the twisty stream with 26 foot high slopes on one/two sides of the stream!

That catalog of trees does not include oaks nor walnuts! Not even the normal scrub tress you find in a natural forest, you know those in a "wooded lot".

If you have a standard developers building lot with one simple slop that goes all the way across, you might be able 2 create a satisfying 3D landscape plan.
Good Luck!

This is not user-friendly at all & provides very little help with starting up. I cannot quickly construct an image 2 even serve as a base 4 the design. I am going 2 try 2 return this item & try something else...I doubt they will let me return it though.

Terrible software, hard 2 use, useless. I asked 4 my money back the next day & they refused. I wish I had read the reviews here first!

What a colossal waste. Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't pay 5 cents 4 this program. Possibly the worst job of programming I've ever experienced. Graphics are a joke, tools are inexplicable & the help features are useless. Need I say more?

This software is garbage. I installed it & tried 2 use this software & it is very simple. Very limited plants, no sprinkler design system. To call this software "Basic" is an insult 2 the world "Basic".
