Don if you are serious about mastering Chief Architect Inc software then download a free trial version of Home Designer Pro from their website and also a free trial version of Chief Architect Premier X6 (version 16) from the Chief Architect Inc website and then compare them. Right away you will see that Pro and Premier are basically similar and the more expensive version (Premier) takes longer to learn because it is capable of more creativity. It is something you should decide yourself based upon your on intent to create versus how much willingness you can bring to bare in terms of study-practice time and money.

Hello
My name is Jim Goepfert. I have been a home remodeler for 7 years and I am looking for a home design software. I am thinking of purchasing Home Designer Pro 2014. I do a lot of Kitchen, bathroom remodeling, deck building and lately I have been doing some additions. I would like to hear from some users if this software will work for me. I want some software that is easy to use (user friendly).
If my prospective customer wants a 3 season room or a deck on their house , I want some software that I can draw their remodel, get a 3D image and a bill of material (that is accurate). The 3D image is going to help me sell the job and give the customer a image of the project. Is Home Designer Pro easy to learn, give me a good 3D image and accurate bill of material or is there a different program that would work better for me?

Thank you for your input.
Jim
