User questions & answers

Question:	I know very little about computers but i am assuming it will not run on a intel(r) hd graphics
Answer:	The current version of Home Designer will run on the Intel HD 5500 graphics. This meets our minimum system requirement as of December 2020.
Question:	Can i build a garage, then submit blueprints for permits with it as diy
Answer:	Whether you can submit your DWG's or not depends on the regulating/building authority where you live. Some jurisdictions require drawings from a registered engineer or architect. Others permit submission and will issue a permit to a DIY,er depending on the nature of the project. Generally okay as long as it meets certain requirements, such as it does not have a bathroom which would impact your sewer system etc.. This program will and can produce the drawings. I find it lacking in many ways, but...you get what you pay for. It is okay for the price.
Question:	Can you download on more than 1 device
Answer:	Yes, you can install Home Designer on multiple computers, but you can only have it actively running on one of your computer at a time. There is a simple process to switch between your computers either by clicking “Help>Manage License” in the software or using your Home Designer online account. Here is a link to a support article with more details on how this process works. https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-01028/installing-home-designer-on-multiple-computers.html
Question:	Can I design a pier and beam home (with floor joists and framing) with this instead of building on a slab on grade
Answer:	Yes, you can build a house on piers with Home Designer Suite. Here is a help article on how to build this kind of structure. https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-00752/creating-a-structure-that-is-built-on-piers.html

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you design a yurt with the software
Answer:	Thank you for the question. Yes there are curved walls that would allow you to design a round structure and the roof by default would follow the curved walls to make a cone like roof.
Question:	I have a previous version, it does not allow more than 3 floors. Does this allow more than 3 floors
Answer:	Thank you for the question. Home Designer Pro can create up to 5 floors in addition to a basement and attic living space for a total of 7 levels.
Question:	Does this calculate dead load/live load/snow load with the material selected
Answer:	Thank you for the question. The software does not include any load calculations. You would want to go off of the span tables for the brand and product you are using. For example, for engineered I-joists, you would want to look at the span table for the floor joists and choose a joist size that fits your needs for span and deflection. Then you can specify this size I-joist in the software for your floor framing. For the roof, you would typically rely on the truss manufacturer for snow load and wind load engineering. If you are stick framing the roof, you would want to refer to span tables for dimensional lumber for your snow load requirement and then you can specify this rafter size in the software. Feel free to contact our sales department for more information at 208-292-3400.
Question:	Does the application build out a framing plan based on the location, in my case the northeast
Answer:	Thank you for the question. The software has standard framing built into the defaults for things like stud, joist and rafter spacing, header sizing, etc. However, the software will not engineer the framing based on your location and it will not give you a warning if you are over-spanning a joist or rafter.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the one time purchase of Office 2019 come with a disk or is it only downloaded from Microsoft
Answer:	Neither option will give you a disc. However, whether you get something physical with your purchase, depends on if you purchase the download or key card version of the software. If you purchase the download version, it will not come with a disc. If you purchase the key card version, you'll receive a physical card in the mail with your activation code on it.
Question:	Does Office 2019 save files to your hard drive or to the cloud
Answer:	I believe it only saves files to your hard drive. You purchase it once instead of paying on an annual basis, but it does not have all the features of Microsoft 365.
Question:	Can i reinstall this sw via download if i reinstall my os or if i buy a new laptop and uninstall this sw on my old one? am i better off buying the cd
Answer:	I just downloaded it from web site and it worked great. Make sure you write down the product key. They will ask you if you want to see it, you will need it if you ever need to reinstall Office.
Question:	What is a Microsoft account and why do I need it for Office
Answer:	A Microsoft account is an email address and password that you use with Outlook.com, Hotmail, Office, OneDrive, Skype, Xbox, and Windows. As part of purchasing Office, you’ll be prompted to sign in with your Microsoft account. After redeeming your purchase at setup.office.com, your Office product is added to your Microsoft account and you’ll use this account to install or reinstall Office from account.microsoft.com/services.

Product description

FreeCAD is a parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history and changing its parameters. FreeCAD is open-source and highly customizable, scriptable and extensible. FreeCAD is multiplatfom (Windows & Mac), and reads and writes many open file formats such as STEP, IGES, STL, SVG, DXF, OBJ, IFC, DAE and many others.

• FreeCAD is multi-platform. It runs and behaves exactly the same way on Windows and macOS platforms.
• FreeCAD also runs as a command line application, with low memory footprint. In command line mode, FreeCAD runs without its interface, but with all its geometry tools. It can be, for example, used as server to produce content for other applications.
• Parametric associative document objects: All objects in a FreeCAD document can be defined by parameters. Those parameters can be modified on the fly, and recomputed anytime. The relationship between objects is also stored, so modifying one object also modifies its dependent objects.
• Built-in scripting framework: FreeCAD features a built-in Python interpreter, and an API that covers almost any part of the application, the interface, the geometry and the representation of this geometry in the 3D viewer. The interpreter can run single commands up to complex scripts, in fact entire modules can even be programmed completely in Python.
• User interaction mirroring on the console: Everything the user does in the FreeCAD interface executes Python code, which can be printed on the console and recorded in macros.
