The record

Purpose: Home Designer is 3D interior design, remodeling, and home design software based on Chief Architect’s professional architectural software and aimed at DIY users.
Automatic modeling: As walls are drawn, the program creates a 3D model and automatically updates framing, roofs, and foundations when doors, windows, or walls change.
Materials lists: Items added to a design are included in a materials list for cost estimating and budgeting.
Interior design: Cabinets are smart objects that snap, bump, and form to walls, and the Material Painter changes colors and styles to visualize options.
Latest version: The maker identifies Home Designer 2027 as available for both PC and Mac, with one license that works natively on both platforms.
Trial limits: The trial includes the paid version’s tools and features except saving, printing, exporting, and virtual tours, and does not expire.
Catalogs and imports: The 3D Library offers manufacturer-specific and generic catalog downloads, and users can import third-party 3D objects, materials, and colors, including from manufacturers’ websites when available.
Compatibility: Home Designer is compatible with Chief Architect’s professional product line, and its designs can be shared using the Chief Architect 3D Viewer app.
License limit: The license is for one person and can be installed on multiple computers for personal use, but only one computer can be active at a time.
Support: Subscriptions include technical support, and the maker describes its customer support as live and based in the US.
