Customer Reviews of Do It Yourself Patio Designer
Don't waste your money! This software is still based on the old Windows 3x format so the look & feel is definitely clunky. While it is not very difficult to learn (on-line tutorials available on their website), it is VERY limited in what it can do. (...)
The use of the word "Designer" for this software title is very misleading, because all you design is 1 dimensional patio flooring drawings that you could do faster by hand.
The use of "Patio" is used too freely for this software title as well. There is nothing that lets you design anything that remotely resembles a patio... no cover, no plants or shrubbery, no BBQ island, etc.
At best, use this application to estimate the amount of materials (cement, gravel, sand, bricks, etc.) that may be needed for your project as it appears to be able to calculate that fairly well.
Patio Designer is Terrible
I wasted my money on this software - don't make the same mistake. It's non-intuitive, inflexible, cumbersome, and does nothing that you can't do yourself in 15 minutes with a pencil and paper. Does not allow you to design a custom patio - only provides a very few options of pavers and patterns, and creating anything other than a rectangular patio is almost impossible. Big Hammer support admitted the problems, but offered no solution or help.
