Description

An outstanding home design app that can turn anyone into a designer. Create detailed floor plan layouts, 3D home design visualizations, plan a garden and work with the surrounding landscape—everything is possible with Live Home 3D Pro.

Floor Plans, Building and Terrain:
• Create detailed 2D floor plan layouts.
• View real-time dimensions for walls, ceilings and floors when drawing in the 2D Plan view.
• Get unlimited floor levels: you will be able to create multi-story buildings and even skyscrapers.
• Design from scratch or rely on ready-made house and interior design samples (e.g., kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, etc).
• Work with terrain editing tools for landscape design: create elaborate terrain around your house, lay paths and driveways and plan out your garden or backyard.
• Choose from the ready-made roof templates (12 roofs and 16 dormers) or customize the roof by editing its segments to create roofs of any form and complexity.
• Work in 2D Elevation view that displays the side view on walls and roof, a perfect tool for working with openings, niches and wall panels.
• Use a multi-purpose Building Block tool to create porches, custom columns, beams or even furniture.

Objects and Materials:
• Add and move furniture and other objects (2,400+ items), and apply physically based materials (2,100+ supplied materials).
• Access thousands of free models that can be imported from the Trimble 3D Warehouse.
• Import 3D models from other applications in most popular formats (Trimble SketchUp™, COLLADA, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, 3DS, etc.)
• Create sophisticated custom materials, and control their texture and light emissive properties using the Material Editor.

Lighting Settings:
• Work with natural lighting by setting up true geolocation, time of day and cloudiness.
• Adjust light fixtures throughout the house to achieve a realistic lighting scene.
• Create custom lamps or achieve the best lighting for your projects with Light Source Editor.

Viewing and Sharing Your Project:
• Walk through your 3D interior designs.
• Create flyover videos and 3D renderings of your projects from different angles.
• Seamlessly share your projects among macOS, visionOS, iOS, iPadOS or Windows devices.

Export:
• Export 2D floor plans as PDF and 3D views of your projects as high-resolution images.
• Export the entire house design or several objects to USDZ, glTF, SCN, SCNZ, FBX or OBJ format.
• Get photo-realistic views of your designs with the offline, ray-tracing rendering technology powered by AMD Radeon™ ProRender or Cycles (unlimited number of renders).
• Get Ultra HD export quality for movies and 360° Panoramas and Hi-res (16,000 x 16,000) for still shots.
• Create Stereo 3D Video, 360° Video, Stereo 3D 360° Video and 360° Panorama JPEG images.

Note: In-app purchases made in the app for Mac do not apply or transfer to the Phone & iPad or Windows versions of the app.

V Good but……..

I have now been using this software for 10 days. I have replicated the paper plans of the building and used the 3D function extensively. It has a very powerful software engine, its responsive, intuative and the 3D models are good.

My negative comment is on the limited objects in the libary, its orientation to the American markets textures,objects, furniture et. The inability to create your own models is a downside. Yes, you do have access to the Trimble 3D Warehouse but that is not a complete libary objects have been created by others and uploaded to the warehouse. Layers per floor would allow furniture to be switched off easly when creating 3D views.

All in all value for money with minor niggles.

Fantastic program for home projects

I have used Live home 3D pro and its predecessor for about 6 years now. It was absolutely instrumental in designing architecturally my holiday home in Italy, where the space was really tight. with a lot of hard work [on my part as doctor and not an architect], I was helped by this program to design an open plan house, changing its layout, sizes of the rooms, adding a U shaped kitchen and knowing what size sofas to buy etc etc. I then designed the electric circuits, which switches does what. There is no doubt that without this program I would not have been able to utilize the space as effectively. It allowed me as an amateur to realise my vision without hiring an architect and fighting with him/her all the time. I am now using the program to design and refurbish my bathrooms in my home in the UK. Very pleased

Truely great solution to design your building

We bought a new premise and we needed a way to both communicate with the builders and design the building to appreciate how it would be to live in. Live Home Pro was simple to use and yet very powerful in particular with the ability to import SketchUp designs as we had created our previous premise in SKetchUp and we needed pre-designed furniture from well known shops.
This just did the job and that works perfect for us.
The only comment I would make is the navigation in 3D could be improved and in particular it would be nice to see 3DConnexion device support like in Google Earth and SketchUP. Also it would be nice to be able to create layers and being able to hide/show them in order to produce plans for builders and separately look at interior design
