Version: Design Intuition 1.5.136
"Far too expensive for the little it offers"
Pros: Had a cursory look at it. Initial intent of a woodworking layout program is outstanding.
Cons: Unfortunately, "intent" is where this program still is.
I was hoping for something that would allow me to design my own furniture and outdoor projects. Unfortunately, after searching deeper, I discovered that I wouldn't even be able to "rotate" objects to a degree other than 90. This is fine for shelves, but honestly, how difficult are shelves to begin with?
Then I looked back at their website curious about the price. Sorry, but for what this program currently offers in comparison to some of the less expensive 3D Cad programs, the price point is WAY over the limit that a woodworker or hobbyist would be willing to spend; so much so that I can see most people being turned completely off.
I think it would have made far more sense to build a client base through free/shareware, until the functions required for woodworking design were actually implemented in a program that purports to do just that. In short, an excellent idea once it's actually ready (which it isn't yet) but even then, only at a far-reduced price.
