Expert Software Unveils Home Design 3D for Windows

Design your Dream Home and walk through the results in minutes!

CORAL GABLES, FL (September 22, 1995)--Expert Software, Inc., a leading
provider of affordable consumer software, announced today the release of
Home Design 3D CD ROM for Windows Version 3.0. Expert's latest version of
America's #1 home design program designs, remodels, and redecorates a
house in 3-D. Home Design has a suggested retail price of $14.95. 

"Home Design 3D's new redraw engine is incredibly fast. The changes take
place in the blink of an eye," commented Sue Currier, president of Expert
Software. "The program's immediate screen refresh allows you to view the
design as if you were on site, walking through it." 

The simplicity of Home Design is its powerful but easy-to-use tools.
Quickly draft a house by clicking on the Wall icon. Place the walls on the
grid to create a floor plan, and add windows and doors by double clicking
on the door, wall, or window for the Preference Dialogue Box. The
Preference Box calls up a list of parameters to customize heights and
widths. Additional customization includes colors of doors, windows, walls,
and roofs. 

Upon the design's completion, view the plans from the exterior and the
interior as a solid, 3-D representation by clicking one of Home Design's
3D viewing tools. Use Walk Through for on-site inspections: "rude the
footprints in and around the building, as if you were right there. View
the outside of the design in entirety by clicking on the Look Around icon,
and rotate around all angles of the building. 

For an elevated exterior view, click on the Helicopter icon to navigate
around the design. Helicopter observes your work from orthogonal angles
above the plan. Home Design also simplifies the viewing process with
camera icons in its ruler. Each camera focuses on a different perspective:
right, left, back, front, and orthogonal overhead. Through out the viewing
process, choose one of Home Design's five viewing styles -- "Wire Frame,"
"Solid White," "Shaded Gray," "Solid Colors," and "Shaded Colors" -- for a
better understanding of the 3D design of the plans. Finally, print out the
blueprints and 3D renditions by clicking the printer icon. 

Additional Home Design 3D features include: 

- 200 plus piece furniture library
- 21 sample plans and blueprints
- Narrated Videos
- Cost and Mortgage program
- 3D view of multiple floors
- Bonus design and decorating program
