Have to agree, this seems rather like an update as opposed to a upgrade. I am using 2024 at the moment and can basically do without the additional features of 2025. One thing I would really like to see is the ability to render realistic glass reflections and refraction effects.
I know this is possible with CA Premier, I don't see why this one feature cannot be included in the HDP software. There is such a huge increase in price between HDP and CA Premier.
I made a suggestion to CA to make available plug-ins that can be purchased separately that would allow for additional effects for those that want them,
or offer an upscale version - Home Designer Pro MAX.
Just a realistic looking glass would be a huge improvement (for me anyway)
Hi. I am new here. Can you share some renders do with Home Designer. I am looking if the interior renders are good or can be export and render in a rendering software. I want to make bathroom and Kitchen for clients, but I can find the right software that can not be to costly. I look Chief Architect, but got to many tools that i did not need. I am only need 3D floorplans, bath and kitchens design and rendering. For Exterior I use Sketchup.
Home Designer Pro 2025 now available in your Digital Library if you are eligible
