Fast Plans, from Black Mountain Software, is the most cumbersome software we've used in a while. Creating the most basic walls requires patience, and to get anything more than a few walls put up requires frequent reference to the help system, which is a task in and of itself.
2D design has been around long enough that most basic features are standard, and this product is no exception. You can either create your own rooms and home designs, or use the pre-made ones.The way that you create rooms is a little awkward, and even when you learn the process, it's still a little difficult to complete most tasks quickly.
Prepare to spend a bit of time learning how to navigate this program. It's just not quite as intuitive as most other Home Design programs we've used. It's not a bad product for creating very simple 2D floorplans, but for more than 50 dollars, you can get an easier to use and more full-featured product.
