Summary: This is a terrible product
Review: ... I wanted to use the Landscape Design 3D to make a plot of my yard. The first thing I did was try to add a fence, and it didn't work. I could add a fence segment all right, but then the program was stuck in "add fence" mode and no combination of mouse clicks or key presses seemed to get me out of it. I had to go into Task Manager and "end task" to get out of it.

Next, I tried adding a path. That worked OK, but the 3D view of it had some cropping issues such that the path appeared to be shaped like a semicircle instead of an arc.

None of the other products were much better, and yes, the install process was flawed for me too.

Don't buy this.

Summary: Drink Holder Material at best
Review: I had low expectations when buying this product, and this package failed to meet them. There are at least 3 different setup programs, none consistent, 2 of which are based on an old Windows 3.1 setup program, with 8.3 character expectations. After installing, 2 programs wouldn't run - "couldn't find file xxxxxxxx.xxx", so I don't actually know how these 2 run. The main 3d program launched, but is about useless. Your time is worth more than this.
