Aesthetic Appeal:  

Total 3D Home Deluxe is not as eye-candy-filled as the higher-ranked programs, but it has some really interesting design options to play with, like the Decorating Tools. You can choose any room in the house, and “decorate” each room with pre-designed templates, or make your own. It’s easy to use, and fun! 

Features & Tools:  

To put your home design together, you simply click on the specific room block you want, drag it to the appropriate location on your plan and then drop and resize it to fit. It’s quite simple.

Total 3D Home Deluxe also includes over 20,000 real product images to help you better visualize and reach your home design goal.

Once you've completed your design, you can use Total 3D Home Deluxe's 3-D feature to walk through the inside or fly around the outside your virtual home. This is what we found a little more than cumbersome. We found in 3D mode you must “walk” through an opening, like a door, otherwise you can’t get inside the house by moving your mouse through. This can get a little annoying when trying to move through the interior. 

Support & Documentation:  

The help support Individual Software provides for Total 3D Home Deluxe is improved over past versions, but still not quite as complete as we’d like. The program does, however, offer helpful video tutorials to aid new users.

Ease of Use:  

This software makes it really easy to build and decorate a house, but it's difficult to view the interior in 3D mode.

Total 3D Home Deluxe by Individual Software is a quick, inexpensive home design program that's a good fit for people who don't need to add much detail to their house plans, or want to explore interior decorating ideas.
