Widows 3.1
I have reviewed software from Books that Work in previous months and I am continually amazed at the ingenuity, cleverness and ease of use this company provides in its software products.
I have been pleased with each product I have reviewed and friends also have had rave reviews for the software. If you are a Fix It person or enjoying Do It Yourself projects Visual Home needs a spot on your shelf. Once again the product supports estimated quotes for a project by using their material estimator. Visual Home provides the budgeting for windows, shell, roof and other portions of the building or room. Great features allow you to choose textures and colors for roofs, outside surroundings, windows, cabinets and inside decor.
Visual Home is the easiest and most realistic way to design, visualize and experiment with your home design project before you spend any money on it. You'll see both the interior and exterior of your remodeling, home addition, new home design or decorating project come to life in the most photo-realistic 3D images available today!

To obtain best performance, Visual Home should be run on a Windows 95 machine with 256 colors and at least 16Mb of RAM. More RAM will speed up the program better than anything else.
You will be given a choice of three ways to install the product: partial, minimal and full.
Minimal installation: Runs the Visual Home executable directly off the CD.
This installation runs slowest, but takes up the least disk space, about 3 MB (megabytes).
Partial installation: Copies the executable and some files required to run the executable. Takes up more space than minimal installation, but runs more quickly than minimal. This uses about 20 MB of disk space.
Full installation: Copies all files to your hard disk. This runs the quickest especially if you have a slow CD-ROM drive. This uses about 300 MB of disk space.
