Thanks for the words of encouragement though.

Meanwhile I have spent 2 months trying to get a decent %$&*%$ set of working drawings out of it. I will be returning it as soon as the person in charge of returns manages to call me back. It is buggy beyond belief and is not nearly as user friendly as it claims to be. For more information on Overview Cost Estimating visit 16 Chief Architect.

Oh how I rue the day I ever laid eyes on that program. This exclusive video tutorial is presented by Home Design. For various reasons (and against my better judgement) we ended up with CA. So in January I started shopping for software for our little (but very busy) 2-person residential practice.
