Complete Home Designer 5.0 from DATA BECKER is flexible and
easy to use. It almost made interior design by computer fun.
It took measurements in inches, allowed the dimensions of
objects to be easily adjusted, and provided a view of a piece
of furniture in 3D before it was used in the design. Overall,
this was the best interior design software tested. It also
was the least expensive. With remarkable 3D and animation options, Complete Home Designer
is a powerhouse of a program. If you want to see your designs beautifully rendered, this
is the program to use. Shadows and lighting are rendered very
realistically and you can simulate light conditions of virtually
any time of day as well as choose geographic locations. If
you want to have fun designing buildings as a hobby or want
to get a great visual preview of a house project before consulting
an architect, I would recommend this program.
