Tmidzin Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I would like to purchase Home Desigb Pro and design a custom home for my family. Can anyone tell me is it possible to design and print blueprints that will work for the state of Idaho or do I need to invest in an X7 architectural license to get the job done? Thanks in advance for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kMoquin Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 It is the operator of the software, not the software, that creates drawings that will work for your city or town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawdzira Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I don't know that product but I think there are limitations on the size of print for that one? It may be limited to 18x24. If that works for your jurisdiction than it may work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 yes, there is a print size limit but create the layout at 1/8 scale and then save to PDF then enlarge at print shop at 1/4 scale for 36 x 48 however, most jurisdictions will take 11 x 17 contact your local permit office and verify the requirements for submittal then check the software features etc many have used PRO to create permits but it depends on your area buying X7 can save in the long run - IF you are willing/able to climb the learning curve when the project is truly done - you could sell X7 for about 80% of current cost but by then you may not want to I have my house modeled and have decided to expand my deck and enclose it with a roof X7 will do the job nicely Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
