Does anyone know if Total 3D Home Deluxe 3.0 is..

The same as or is compatible with Total 3D Architect Deluxe 3.0? Both seem to made by the same company (Broderbund). Does anyone have or know of a free downloadable sample that I can use to see if it works? If it is not the same there are a couple copies on EBay but they all have like 5 days to go

Thanks

I don't think it is the same.  I think
Broderbund is a broker and sells lots of other peoples programs.

As I recall, John said Better Homes and Gardens program works.

Awesome, thanks, I'll just sweat it out for 5 days waiting for the ebay auctions to end (there is one at 99 cents, hopefully it stays that way but they make up for it with shipping...)

I was able to snag one off Ebay early, so as soon as it comes it I am going to start planning - we just bought a piece of land in NC and we are going to build a 20 x 40 Universal Cottage with a shed style bumpout (hopefully if it is workable) on the side with the kitchen and dining room that goes about halfway down, the front part of that will be the porch wrapping around from the front. It is probably going to be about 6 months before we get started. I'll be getting the plans soon.

Thanks

Sounds great Steve.  I'm sure there is a way to do the bumpout.  Looking forward to seeing your Owner-builder project thread,
