HGTV Home and Landscape Platinum Suite 3.0: A Landscape Design Software Review
The HGTV Home and Landscape Platinum Suite 3.0 capitalizes on its tie-up with the cable home improvement channel in luring users to use the program, at least according to landscape design software reviews. This outdoor space design software allegedly has some powerful tools and features, as well as inspiration from actual homes featured on HGTV. What also makes this software a great deal is that it includes ingredients for both interior and exterior remodeling and design, so it is perfect for those who want to spend only on one program instead of having to purchase two separate programs.
Because of the dual modes of the HGTV Home and Landscape Platinum Suite, a good number of landscape design software reviews may claim that it tries too hard, that it tries to be the ‘software of all trades’ while being the master of none. But the software still has a great number of features, including its ability to import digital photos from outside sources. Users can also make virtual tours of the area that needs designing while estimating the cost of the project. Of course, as this program is tied to HGTV, there is a very informative and essential how-to video library, a prize find especially for beginners and those who want some motivation and inspiration.
The software also contains an extensive encyclopedia that has more than 2,000 items from appliances, lighting fixtures, furnishings, and even plants, all in 3D! Most complaints regarding the software would be about the interior design aspects of it, including the sparse option on wall color, the few selections in appliances. As for its exterior capabilities, the software is criticized for not producing professional blueprints and the difficulty of learning and getting used to the viewing angles.
Most enthusiasts and experts feel that the HGTV Home and Landscape Platinum Suite 3.0 is more of child’s play and software for amateurs, but then landscape design software reviews from amateurs who have used it claim that their finished projects do not look amateur at all, thanks to the software.
