Sweet Home 3D
Sweet Home 3D is an interior design tool that allows you to draw the plan of your home, arrange furniture and view the results in 3D. Sweet Home 3D will calculate the holes in your walls when you drag doors and windows into the plan. You can add furniture to the plan by searching a catalog that is searchable and extensible. It is organized by categories like kitchen, living room or bedroom. You can change the color, texture, size and orientation of walls, floors, ceilings, and flooring. You can view the home from an aerial view or navigate through it from a virtual visitor's point of view.

Vertex BD
Vertex BD is a BIM program for residential builders of medium and large sizes. All of the necessary building models can be used to generate architectural and structural drawings sets, fabrication drawings, material data, manufacturing data, marketing renderings, and material reports. Vertex BD automates the creation of lot-specific drawing sets, which saves production home builders countless hours in having to create drawings for each customer's house option. Component manufacturers and panelizers use Vertex BD to automate the process for creating floor and wall panel fabrication drawings, structural layouts and cut lists, as well as other material reports. These processes can be automated by manufacturers to save considerable time on design, drafting, and estimation, as well as minimize errors at the construction site. Available for both cold-formed steel and wood construction.
