Remodeling, renovation or simply redecoration – With Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 4, you are the architect.

Design single rooms, apartments or entire buildings including gardens

Add included furniture and other objects or import existing 3D models in all common formats

Apply realistic lighting for realistic impressions of your buildings

I do not profess to any level of expertise regarding CAD (Computer Aided Design) software, in fact my knowledge in this area is very limited. However, I do know Ashampoo and its products very well, and Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 4 fits squarely into the usual excellent Ashampoo formula of providing quality in a comprehensive and comprehensible package.

Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture version 4 has been further improved by the inclusion of an extended Project Wizard, now providing an even easier way to start your new design project. Choose the basic building floor shape, enter the dimensions, specify the number of floors and your preferred roof design, and that’s it. Even if you’re brand new to this type of program, you’ll be able to create a core building shell easily within a few minutes.

Here’s how the enhanced Project Wizard operates:

Step 1: Enter project data such as building contractor, planner and project location. New
Step 2: Select measuring units, scale and floor plan shape.
Step 3: Specify dimensions.
Step 4: Edit number of floors with adjustable heights. New
Step 5: Select the roof from pre-defined shapes or customize each roof side individually. New

You can check out a full list of features here: Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 4 – Details

If you are into DIY remodeling, renovations and building design in general, you cannot go past this terrific CAD software. Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 4 provides an absolute wealth of features and functionality, all presented in Ashampoo’s inimitable easy-to-use fashion.

Please enter my name in the drawing, and Thanks for making this contest possible.

Not having used Ashampoo 3D CAD yet, I can’t say much about it. However, reading the description above makes me certain that it will be heads and shoulders above the two programs I use now.

It would be great fun to play with possible changes to my house. This seems real enough to be sure changes work before knocking down any walls.

Could sure save a bundle of bucks, and frustation, before you swing your hammer the first time.

Dave, Looks like a really neat package. If my name is drawn, toss it and draw someone who might get some real use out of it. Tom

This would be perfect for my son. His school dropped drafting and Intro and advance CAD classes so his only exposure has been Sketchup. Hope we’re a lucky winner.

This is another great Ashampoo product. It is perfect for the DIYer who has some design knowledge but doesn’t do designing as a profession and thus doesn’t need the power and features of the pro version.
