It looks great, James! I got started with the Broderbund programs. The Home Interiors is only useful if you've got one of those Photo Modeling programs (like Canoma) but it puts out gorgeous rendered images. Sadly, you can't import anything other than jpg or bmp (I have to look it up, it's been so long since I've used it). I will say that they have a marvelous collection of windows, doors, furniture and textures - my gawd, the textures!!! The 3D Architect didn't export in 3D, which is why I went with FloorPlan. Sierra is ok. It does export into 3d dxf format, BUT you can't group by color, etc. When you bring it into a modeling program it's just one mesh, you have to chop it up yourself, which can be a real pain the the nether regions if it's a large, complex model. Word of advice - avoid the Bob Vila software, it's useless. Kate (the Home Improvement Software Junkie)
