About

The full product version with all the features developed so far, a unique powerful solution, covering all the design process for a total design experience. ThinkDesign Professional allows the removal of the barriers to the communication in the various stages of the product definition since it is possible to make changes without losing the work done in other departments. In fact, thanks to the benefits of solid modeling, to the flexibility of the models of free-shape surfaces and to the extraordinary editing tool of GSM, modifications can be made with great creativity and precision to any type of shape, no matter if native or imported ones, while maintaining the full associativity and in a much shorter time than with the traditional approaches. In order to meet customers' needs, DPT makes available the ThinkDesign Drafting solution, which allows you to maintain the traditional 2D design approach, re-use your legacy data archive with a modern, user-friendly and Windows standard tool.

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.
