Ran it through UTM on my iPad Air, exactly like in the tutorial video surprisingly fast. I’m not an architect, just a homeowner redesigning my kitchen, and this software made it easy.

A little learning curve but worth it. The 3D renders look far better than I expected for a one-time purchase.

We're build our first home

We're building our first home and wanted something to help visualize every room before talking to the builder. Plan7Architect made it simple to experiment with layouts and window sizes, and we could walk through the model together on screen like a real tour. I especially liked being able to export high quality images to share with family and get feedback. No subscription fees and the one-time payment made it an easy decision. For homeowners like us, it's the perfect tool between imagination and reality.

I used Plan7Architect to design my small cabin, and it was such a smooth experience. The setup was easy, the tutorials were super helpful, and the 3D view helped me catch design issues early. It definitely saved me a lot of time and money.

I installed it on my iPad using UTM, just to see if it really works like the video showed and it does. It's fast, responsive, and perfect for sketching during client meetings. Later I move the same file to my laptop for fine-tuning. That cross-device flexibility makes my workflow so much smoother.

We're a retired couple turning our old garage into a guest suite. This software helped us test dozens of versions until we agreed on one (a small miracle). Printing the final plan felt like holding our own blueprint. It's amazing that normal people can do this now.

I used a doodle room layouts on napkins now I actually design them properly. Plan7Architect feels powerful but never intimidating. I love how you can see shadows move across the floor when you change the sun position. It's oddly addictive.

For anyone planning a new build

For anyone planning a new build: don't underestimate how valuable a good 3D preview can be. We used Plan7Architect to design our family home, room by room. The kids even helped decide window positions because they could "walk" through the model. Our architect used my exported plans as the project base and we saved weeks.

As a real state agent

As a real state agent, I needed a way to show potential buyers how an empty house could look furnished. Plan7Architect lets me recreate rooms quickly and render them beautifully. I need 3D snapshots to clients, and they immediately imagine living there. It's been a great sales tool definitely worth having.

We run a small family renovation business, an Plan7Architect became our go-to planning tool. My wife does the interior layouts, I focus on structure, and together we can show customers 3D previews within hours. We export PDFs for permits and DWHs for engineers no issues so far. Easy to use, reliable, and clients think we're using something ten times more expensive.

I'm a homeowner who always loved drawing but never touched professional CAD software. Plan7Architect made my dream project a small modern bungalow actually possible. The interface is simple, the drag-and-drop walls are easy, and the 3D walkthrough helped me see how light comes through each window. I printed my plans and my builder accepted them straight away. For anyone wanting to plan a house on their own, this is perfect not too technical, not too basic.

After years of sketching floor plans on paper, I finally decided to try a proper program Plan7Architect was exactly what I needed. The tutorials helped me get started and within a few hours I had recreated my whole house. Then I used the software to test an extension and rearrange the interior. Seeing it in 3D helped me avoid mistakes that would have cost a lot later. The learning curve is gentle, even if you've never used CAD before. Totally worth it.
