Not Easy To Use

I'd this spiffy CAD program 15 years back. Went on Home windows 95 or 98. Absolutely loved it but time stands still without developer. I had been hopeful this application might be similar, but alas! It might actually be that centering a door or perhaps a window on the particular coordinate with ones finger is definitely an impossibility with no mouse, however this application includes a slider bar readily available for the x and y. Regrettably, tapping another element on screen undos all of the progress. Also, there is not a z (height) feature, so if you wish to indicate more compact home windows or taller walls, make another note in the dimensional text. Also, as others have stated, the outside size of the walls are displayed, not the inside, and it is actually way too simple to slide the weather round the screen accidentally, departing all of the others behind and also the user meticulously re-centering the jostled element to its original location. I erased this application and can look for another.

It really works fine

Ok if you are a astronaut and also you require an application created by rocket researcher. This most likely ain't for you personally. But when your average person ant you simply come with an evening to determine how this factor works, get it done. The only real problem I've it there is not a choice for any plain whitened background in order to save a little of ink within my printer. But it is totally not worth losing a star over. Thanks whomever chose to make this. I am Happy Happy Happy!

$15 is laughable
