Your Custom Home Reviewer's Comments

Your Custom Home by ValuSoft is simple, easy-to-use software that offers a unique room by room design that beginners will appreciate, but the program has little practical application for those serious about home design.

Features & Tools:  

Your Custom Home is different than most home design software in that you start by selecting a room design by shape (square, rectangle, T-shaped and so on) and then go from there. The program allows you to resize wall length easily, but doesn't allow you to alter the original shape you selected. If you find you need a different-shaped room, you'll need to start over and choose different predefined shapes. There is also a tool available to create your own shaped rooms if the shapes supplied don't meet your needs.

There are no landscaping features in Your Custom Home.

Your Custom Home has a 3-D view for a walkthrough or a helicopter view of your design, and you can take "snapshots" of your home design as you move by.

Support & Documentation:  

ValuSoft supports Your Custom Home with built-in tutorials and an index search feature.

Ease of Use:  

Your Custom Home is simple to use once you've gone through the tutorials. The tutorials use a step-by-step process to walk you through major features. The navigation and layout of the program are intuitive, allowing for the average person—with some practice—to master Your Custom Home quickly.

Your Custom Home by ValueSoft offers an easy-to-learn, room-by-room design package that may suit some beginners, but the program doesn't offer options and customization tools required by serious home designers.
