Geoff Hamilton's 3-D Garden Designer

Access was denied to the cd and therefore was completely useless.A complete waste of time and money

Great trade thank you

Did not work at all.

great

This product just doesn't work, and does not even deserve one star. There are no instructions as to how to draw the outlines of your garden, so it is impossible to start. There are absurdly detailed choices to be made as to background and materials, but no guidance as to how to create flower beds. The plant encyclopedia is stuck on Trees, with no clue as to how to change to the plants list. This software really should not be on sale.

I work in IT but still spent the best part of a day working out a basic design due to the user vicious user interface and next to useless manual. The plant choices are far from comprehensive and some of the structures (fences, brick walls, tables) etc are singularly bizarre in appearance. The 3D view is a good concept but very poorly executed. I can only conclude that this software was thrown together by a bunch of programmers on the basis of next to no customer research and no interest in nor knowledge of garden design. Sadly most of the reviews I have read of competitor products equally scathing. There is certainly a niche market out there ready to be filled...maybe I'll write something myself!

Whilst the basic product may be OK for a gardening enthusiast.I found the Landscaping feature little better than useless. Having tried numerous times to create a basic landscape I was constantly thwarted by it doing very strange things.Similarly, error messages popping up again having being cleared, or alledgely having insufficient memory (256MB!).Obviously it is an inferior product which has not been tested properly.NOT Recommended!!
