Eleco GRAND DESIGNS 3D Self Build & Development

GRAND DESIGNS 3D has no steep learning curve and allows for non-qualified CAD users like myself to very quickly produce instant results.

In 2D mode create your plans by accurately dragging and dropping elements such as walls, doors and windows. There is also a room planning tool allowing you to quickly place walls to further modify. If you want to create new floors, you can easiliy do this by transferring all elements from existing floor to further modify.

The visualisations created in program are very impressive. In 2D mode you simply click a button and hey presto you have a 3D model. Furnish the model with choice of objects and textures from catalogue. You can even walk through your project and experiment with lighting conditions. Collision control stops you walking through walls.

Placing furniture objects is easy and can be modified to suit e.g. size and orientation. I suggest placing objects in plan view as manual suggests - this is much easier to control and position objects. Some objects e.g. kitchen units can even snap to one another.
