Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It is cost effective, and evidently makes sense with the cost because the interface is so difficult to understand and for a designer it is a pain when none of the pan and tilt options are not on the mouse.

Cons

  • Interface, 3D modeling, non parametric, steps involved in basic constructions, movement of working planes for simple designs, toggling on and off of the 2D and 3D options for 3D part features. Drawing of extra construction lines, the list goes on and on.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Was once a reliable platform with the money. The current product is not worth the money and is hardly different from the version from nearly 10 years ago
  • I like that I can not only build walls and make a floor plan but that I can put furniture in to see how well the room will flow.

Cons

  • I was a long time and user having versions 789 and 12 on different machines in my shop. I obtained a new computer this spring and decided add the current Pro version. What I found was software that had minimally changed since version 12. I had also purchased a tutorial guide to go with it which turned out to be for an old version of Shark. When I inquired about their money back guarantee they said it was only for software that had been opened. I don't know how one is supposed to evaluate the quality of software without opening. After my email exchange with them they actually Updated Their return policy on their website to reflect this. I do feel that I was cheated because I believed that the 30 day money back guarantee was real.
  • The only thing I wish was better were the controls and the availability of interior design options.
