y-g-m-n Posted Thursday at 09:42 AM Share Posted Thursday at 09:42 AM I will say nice list of new features heck one I even asked for - LED STRIP-ROPE-TAPE Lights. WOnder how that works. - under counter top appliances like dishwashers etc. that fit between cabinets will not have to be inserted into base cabinets anymore hated fighting that And the countertops continue over these... - NEw framing stuff Interesting and I may have upgraded if it was purchase and not a subscription. I do not understand why they cannot have both. Let those who rent it for soem amount get everything in library store for free as a bonus for renting. but those who like to own and run one version for few years do so. I mean I can buy a car or lease why not software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted Thursday at 02:41 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:41 PM Sadly, not all of the catalogs are available. The ones that were pay for in HD Pro are now free, and a very select few in the Chief catalog library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded the trial to see what was new, and also noticed that the additional features PDF was disappointingly very limited. Still can't import SKP objects as anything other than interior fixtures, so you will need a tedious workaround to place doorknobs and cabinet hardware for each instance. To me, this is a dumb and unnecessary restriction of the Home Designer line. Also, the "free" catalog items exclude cabinets. Another dumb restriction in my opinion. Why not just allow Home Designer users to purchase the catalogs that they want to use? The "upgrade" to Home Designer 2026 SUBSCRIPTION ONLY is definitely not worth the money, especially since the software dies as soon as you stop paying.
