- Total waste of $10.00
I thought I was getting a super bargain on some older software. No. Whatever company is making this has just taken the brand name. I was looking forward to replacing a program I had used in the past. This was completely different. The menus and tools don't make any sense. I can't drag walls to where I want them to be; everything ends up with crazy angles. Cheap software made for a quick buck. No effort of any kind went into making this product. I'm just going to throw it away. Would not burden anone with such a useless "gift".

Where's the manual???? A manual is not included with this software. The help files are not helpful either. I don't even know where to begin. I'm very disappointed.

- A Blatant Ripoff
I purchased this program direct from the 3dhaonline.com website, because I had used it years before on my old PC...and it did a decent job of producing what I wanted. I was pleased to see that a Mac OS version was available (and this should have tipped me to investigate further before buying).

Well, after downloading it and stumbling through the non-intuitive activation process, I anticipated opening up my old 3DHA files. Well now, it doesn't seem to recognize the old file format, and the only Import option is for "Punch 3D" objects. Combing through the online help, I come to learn that version 9 is not compatible with anything prior! Didn't see that bullet in the features list (on later re-review, I saw that their promotional page does in fact declare incompatibility...but ... Read More

- Previous version files cannot be opened
If you have created files with previous versions of 3D Home Architect, you might be interested in knowing what I finally located on a support forum (http://forums.encoreusa.com/tm.asp?m=29701):

What type of files does this product open? - 1/26/2008 11:09:07 PM

There have been several different 3DHA developers. And, unfortunately, each developer created file formats that were not compatible with the products created by the other developers.

So, this is pretty much how the file format for 3DHA breaks down:

3DHA versions 5-8 cannot open any 3DHA file created with version 4 or earlier.

3DHA version 9 cannot open any 3DHA file created with any previous version of 3DHA.

- Worthless Software
Years ago, I had Broderbund's 3DHA, version 3. It worked fine. Then Broderbund had the audacity to completely revamp the software, and when version 5 came out (under the same name), it became almost useless. Now, Punch is marketing 3D Home Architect, version 9. This one is also useless. The libraries are small; e.g., only four door styles to choose from. There is no way to "cut a section" and view an elevation. The "Help" line is unresponsive; e.g., my current question has gone unanswered for 10 days. I could go on with a litany of reasons why this software is worthless, but the publisher hasn't earned my time.
