I do not profess to any level of expertise regarding CAD (Computer Aided Design) software, in fact my knowledge in this area is very limited. However, I do know Ashampoo and its products very well, and Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 4 fits squarely into the usual excellent Ashampoo formula of providing quality in a comprehensive and comprehensible package.

Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture version 4 has been further improved by the inclusion of an extended Project Wizard, now providing an even easier way to start your new design project. Choose the basic building floor shape, enter the dimensions, specify the number of floors and your preferred roof design, and that’s it. Even if you’re brand new to this type of program, you’ll be able to create a core building shell easily within a few minutes.

Here’s how the enhanced Project Wizard operates:

  • Step 1: Enter project data such as building contractor, planner and project location. New
  • Step 2: Select measuring units, scale and floor plan shape.
  • Step 3: Specify dimensions.
  • Step 4: Edit number of floors with adjustable heights. New
  • Step 5: Select the roof from pre-defined shapes or customize each roof side individually. New

Thanks for this great giveaway. I’ve got a several programs from Ashampoo and all of those are great so this one will be too I guess.

Please enter my name in the drawing, and Thanks for making this contest possible.

Not having used Ashampoo 3D CAD yet, I can’t say much about it. However, reading the description above makes me certain that it will be heads and shoulders above the two programs I use now.

Thanks for this great giveaway..:) Please count me in this giveaway. This is great opportunity to get Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 4. I have 2 More products from Ashampoo.Very good performance.
Thanks..:)

Great giveaway!

Thank you for the giveaway! Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture looks like an easy and fun to use utility. I would like to win a license for that!

It would be great fun to play with possible changes to my house. This seems real enough to be sure changes work before knocking down any walls.

Could sure save a bundle of bucks, and frustation, before you swing your hammer the first time.

i went to school to become an architect, and was not able to finish. wow this is a dream come true!

Thanks for the opportunity. This is a very nice thing for Ashampoo to do.

Dave, Looks like a really neat package. If my name is drawn, toss it and draw someone who might get some real use out of it. Tom

This would be perfect for my son. His school dropped drafting and Intro and advance CAD classes so his only exposure has been Sketchup. Hope we’re a lucky winner.

Thanks for the great giveaway

This is one of the best CAD programs for the average user! I would love to have a license to it. Thanks for getting us this offer.

Looks interesting, I’d like to try designing an extension on the house with it.

This is another great Ashampoo product. It is perfect for the DIYer who has some design knowledge but doesn’t do designing as a profession and thus doesn’t need the power and features of the pro version.

This program might help make that career change into CAD work

he draw house and building manually.

Thanks a lot for the giveaway. Using Ashampoo software for last 10 years. They are simply the best of class in the sense that their software are powerful, yet very easy to use and master. This will be very useful for my work.

Doing a project presently on farming Moringa Oliefera down in South Africa. The project requires the construction of a nursery and a processing plant. Having access to Ashampoo’s newest and most user friendly 3D CAD Architecture will assist in the success of this project. I have basic knowledge in using Google’s Sketch-Up, however I do believe 3D CAD Architecture is a far superior product.

This looks exactly like what I need. I am working on designing small homes for special needs residents, e.g. those with a physical handicap who use a wheelchair, those with a mental handicap, etc. This would be such a help in properly laying out the rooms, the best use of floor space and other design elements that would make their place into a home.

Hi, I’d like this, I think it would be a great upgrade from my Ashampoo Home Designer. Thank you for this chance.

For the first time I heard about Ashampoo 3D CAD Architecture 4, kindly you give me a chance to try a nice software. Thank you.
