You know, every job starts with a plan
0:08
And blueprints are really, really important, but typically they sometimes take a professional
0:13
to draw them. What if I told you that you could actually buy a piece of very affordable software, install
0:21
it into your computer, and draw complete house plans for your next project
0:27
This is an incredible piece of software. It'll allow you to design a small garden shed all the way up to a mansion
0:34
It allows you to do complete blueprints. You can do remodeling jobs
0:39
It'll draw exterior elevations, interior elevations. It allows you to even look at the plan in three dimensions
0:47
Not only that, as you go ahead and design your home, you can insert different textures
0:52
If you want brick or stone if you want hardwood floors linoleum any type of roof that you have It even does landscaping One of the other nice things that I like about this particular plan are all the different three views You can look at different lighting setups It allow you to actually do a cutaway view much like a children dollhouse And one of the best things of all once you finish with your plan and you happy with it you can build a three model with this particular software It a patented process And you done You done You done a three model with this particular software It a patented process And you done You done You

apply little cutouts to pieces of foam board and you can actually build a 3D model of your
1:31
new home. You know, this software is really incredible stuff. It wasn't around three or four
1:36
years ago. There have been other home design software packages, but not one that is as complete
1:41
and thorough as this one. This particular software only cost $129, but in my opinion, it's worth
1:47
five times that amount. I'm Tim Carter, Ask the Builder. If you want to discover more home improvement
