The upcoming Version 3.0 will have ray-trace rendering. Tabs at the top of the screen clearly delineate and organize a large library of attractive structural and furnishing objects. In addition, a button automatically connects you to the Sierra Home Architect Digital Collection Web site for free new content, which Sierra updates monthly. The Quick Design wizard helps you create rooms individually for later assembly. Most objects align correctly, but not all.
Cabinets snap to each other and to the wall quite nicely.
And table lamps actually go right on the table surface rather than the floor. But a bay window insisted on fitting into a wall backward, with the convex surface facing inside. Creating a stairway is remarkably awkward, and the result doesn't necessarily reach the next floor. First, you have to make a room in the first floor and remove a wall and the ceiling, then place another room that is exactly the same size over the first and remove its floor and a wall. Next, you create a third room and remove two walls for the upstairs landing.
