Thanks again for the feedback. For super realistic renderings I do outsource to folks using vray and other programs. I am very open to ideas and direction though!
That's a good question. I love auto cad so I don't think Ill switch completely.
Its the rendering that drives me. Also some of the building components.
I might take your advice and start with HD Pro. I don't have a lot of time for learning curves. Will what I learn with HD Pro translate?
Thanks for the great responses. I wasn't even looking at the Home Designer products. Are they more for the DIY v professional. Right now I do everything in CAD and have a rendering person. I want the ability to do it myself.
I can see the benefit of getting a loan or just paying outright but that$550+ a year adds up.
One way or the other you have to pay!
