crosscutter55 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I am using 2017 h pro,Boy i would have loved to been able to download the new azek library but 2017 will not support these new libraries !!! I callled tech support & they said it would cost me $99.00 to upgrade !!!!! I cant justify that dollar amount as of now , not to mention i can not even preview the componets in the library has anyone with 2018 download that library & if so what types of material are in it ?? I would really like specific trim & rail items ! Any info would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarren Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Suggestion: Download the 2018 trial and you can preview the library and decide for yourself. There are 112 items in that library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swarren Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 The differences between 2017 and 2018 can be found at the link below. ttps://www.homedesignersoftware.com/whats-new/#whats-new-summary I HIGHLY suggest you download the trial version. The video requirements are higher for 2018 than 2017. You can keep your 2017 install untouched while using the 2018 trial. https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/products/trial.html?product=pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie65 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hi, Yes, they have added "L" and "U" shaped stairs to the basic functions. A few new options in the defaults too. It would be great if at some point they would add 2 and 3 wide double hung combinations. Centering the mull all the time gets to be a pain in the rear end. I did do a deck & tried the Azek railing. The result wasn't ideal, so I used the default program deck parts & changed the color to white for all of the items. Seemed to keep the structure easier to build. Haven't done anything with the moldings yet though. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
