Pros

“The catalog integrations are also helpful, allowing for relatively accurate specifications. When it works well, it really speeds up the design process and helps present a polished, professional package which I feel is great value for your money.”

Karly G.

President

“As a small design group, a menu option would allow us to pay for features we need and use vs. an excessive blanket annual fee.”

Diana S.

Senior Designer Project Developement

“The software is supported by a wide selection of manufacturer supported catalogs which makes ensuring the proper fit, finish, and textures for the renderings.”

Cons

“I would have given a 6 out of 10 2 months ago because I felt that the rendering software had been the same quality for many years and the long wait times on some files is frustrating, but with the new rendering upgrades and cloud storage I would give it an 8 out of 10.”

Crystal W.

Owner

“I am not sure what happened but the the new system is vey buggy and the drag feature will often lose contol and the cabinet will disappear or just plain drop off the grid and reappear when doing a renering.”

Patrick M.

Kitchen Designer, Project Estimator

“The lighting issues, how colors dont always show accurately and adding light washes out the rendering.”
