Gargantuan download size of this software resulted in much frustration last September for some GOTDers; hopefully this re-run will be less troublesome.

My wife actually trialed this direct from Ashampoo last summer when we were in the process of moving house. She found it to be an impressively comprehensive home design program, in much the same way that Adobe CS is an impressively comprehensive image editing program -- for which reason, she uninstalled: not because the software was deficient in any way but because it was much, much too feature rich for her needs.

It's a point bearing in mind for anyone contemplating today's re-run. Although Ashampoo has done its best to make everything as intuitive as possible, the learning curve here is as substantial as the download size. It's therefore not a program for casual toying with and especially not by those who, like my wife, have never experienced home design software before.

She eventually installed the open source Sweet Home 3D, download size currently around 43Mb. . . and, finally, went back to old fashioned graph paper.

Horribly slow download speed and it's not my internet connection. I know the size is in GBs but still, this is a stone age or what? Why not just giveaway the serial instead?

What export options does this have?

Images? Videos of a walkthrough?

A 3D obj file with materials?

No details of this on the home page and file too big to download just to check.

If it has no export options, it has no value to me. I would think all of the suggested formats should be available at a minimum - extras would include other 3D formats, but obj is the most universal so should be the first choice.

Tried this last time as a GOTD - didn't find it useful.
It is designed for new construction, not remodeling existing homes.

i used this in December as a free trial and we were just moving house it was very easy to use and to print off to show the removal people where to put all our gear (lots in garage) lol
we move every few years with work so this will come in handy yes its big and long time to download but well worth it well it is for us
takes a bit of time to sort it out but well done for GOTD for getting this for us THANKS Ashampoo
