Customer Reviews: deck buildingNovember 1, 2007 John Hanson(Sturgis, MI United States) worked as advertised....but i needed more ....somewhat not user friendly i am not a computer wizz
Not as easy as statedMarch 24, 2008 Ea Bartruff(Disuptanta, Virginia) The program was not as easy as I thought I would be. I was not able to print working drawings only a list of materials in even tht was only general nothing specific. I was a little disappointed in it's lack of features and difficuty with commands (mostly keyboard and low use of the mouse). For the price fair, but it could have been better.
Does less than you hoped forMay 25, 2008 Speleologist(Pennsylvania) Instant Deck design is very basic but difficult to learn. Not at all what I expected for a supposedly user-friendly software. No manual, so you have to read directions from disk (and too many pages to print if you go that route). I tried using the Deck Design Wizard, which does well except I didn't see a construction plan with dimensions, just a nice drawing of the finished project. Worst of all, I can't get the program to give me a material list. I'll have to play with this program some more, but as of now, it is worthless to me.
Not for anything but basicsApril 23, 2008 G. Smith(Washington State) This product will give you the basic layout only. Trying to put a stairway on a beveled corner just didn't happen. Also if you went outside the set perameters it would refuse to do anything. You get what you pay for.
