This website is dedicated to providing news and information on consumer level home design software, and it will address the topics of mac design software, windows design software, and tips and tutorials.
CAD software is computer aided design software. Things have come a long way since the 80s when AutoCAD was for the professionals and engineers, Design Your Own Home (Architecture, Interiors, Landscape) was for consumers, and MacDraft and PCDraft was for both. Most consumer level software has little true AutoCAD compatibility, nor does it need it, nor do the consumer level software buyers care. MacDraft Personal Edition and MacDraft Professional are a pair of Mac programs that illustrates this split, in that MacDraft Personal Edition is for the consumer and has no AutoCAD compatibility, while MacDraft Professional is fully AutoCAD compatible.
And then there’s our inexpensive Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 home design CAD software, Ez-Architect.
Check out our “About” page, whose link is to the right, for a more in-depth look at what we are about.
Landscape Vision is an easy to use landscape design software application that produces amazingly professional results. Who needs fake looking drawn plant images or skimpy plant data bases? The landscape of your dreams is within your reach!
We just finished our Clipart Library: Home Design and More, which has home design images, website design images like buttons and menus, tree images, train images, and even fishing images.
It’s compatible with any PC or Mac program that can import images (such as MacDraft or our PC best-seller, Ez-Architect) and it has 2471 clipart images in 37 folders.
Interiors Professional now has a new Item Tag type called ‘Bounds’. Windows and doors were totally enclosed in a transparent box which fitted itself into the wall space when these items were placed on a wall. The new tag allows the user to create a similar box that will enclose only the part of the object that needs to be within the wall space. The rest of the object can hang outside this box allowing the easy production of open windows and doors, overhanging sills and complete bow windows.
Improved handling of files where the same texture appears multiple times. Previously each instance of a texture was processed and saved separately. Now the program recognises instances of identical textures and keeps only one copy of each. This results in vastly smaller files and faster operation when room designs with multiple instances of the same texture are processed.
Since theliquidateher.com is the newest distributor of MacDraft Personal Edition and MacDraft Professional, we needed a way to celebrate this fact with a flourish. So as a way of launching our distribution of these programs with a bang, if you buy MacDraft PE or MacDraft Professional from our site, we will give you FREE our 2D Home, Office, and Landscape Library—a $49.95 value!
