## Reviews

### "Beautiful renderings from anywhere\!" — 5.0/5

> **Crystal** | *16 June 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Accessible anywhere and loving the improvement of the rendering engine\! I also love the new option for cloud file saving to make projects even easier to access from different locations.
> 
> **Cons**: The software still has some issues with running slow when a lot of walls or sketchup items are in the file.
> 
> I would have given a 6 out of 10 2 months ago because I felt that the rendering software had been the same quality for many years and the long wait times on some files is frustrating, but with the new rendering upgrades and cloud storage I would give it an 8 out of 10.

### "It is okay at best." — 2.0/5

> **Patrick** | *26 February 2025* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The program has many features. It also has the ability to do a very nice and realistic 3D rendering.
> 
> **Cons**: I have used the 2020 software for many years and it was great until the new interface. I am not sure what happened but the the new system is vey buggy and the drag feature will often lose contol and the cabinet will disappear or just plain drop off the grid and reappear when doing a renering.
> 
> I have been a Kitchen Designer fo more than 20 years. It works okay but it is not my first choice. I truthfully get so angry at the bugs that I am not happy with the purchase.

### "A To The Point Review" — 4.0/5

> **Jodi** | *27 April 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like most of the versatility it offers in designing.  The designing part is also user friendly.  The renderings are getting much better but take a bit too much time to come up.  For the manufacturers that offer accurate pricing in their catalogs, it's great that you can get a price without having to enter it into the online portals of each manufacturer.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't like the glitches it still has.  Some of these include: difficulty in getting printing/display settings right, strange ceiling lines that shouldn't be there (especially with different ht walls), difficulty in zooming in/out of renderings, limitation of catalogs available and the inability to customize (decorative) objects and appliances.
> 
> Customer service has been very good.  The technicians all have different levels of training so you do tend to get slightly different "fixes"/"solutions" when you call back multiple times.

-----

### "New to home program" — 4.0/5

> **Stephanie** | *22 February 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Accessories and access ability for endless possibilities.
> 
> **Cons**: No tutorial on features upon login nor any type quick link box.
> 
> Starting it up and running with it. I am very pleased with \[sensitive content hidden\] but don’t want to bother with simple questions. Need a chat bot tutorial

-----

### "Wow Rendering Factor\!" — 5.0/5

> **CHARLES** | *11 March 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Realistic rendering that replicates the space as envisioned. I also appreciate the fact that several materials and interior selections are available for me to use in the design. I am practically limited by my imagination.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing of significance that I can highlight at this moment.
> 
> My experience has been fabulous. The entire transition has been seamless. Thank you so much\!
