Very useful, allows us to draw our buildings faster, easier and more accurately. Unfortunately that we can't definitively group certain portions, it would be easier to move them, especially in the context of printing more than one page or to move them within the print preview.

Very user friendly. Fun to use. Limitless potential.

Software it to complex. It is hard to work with and understand. Your view while you work stinks.

Program is difficult to understand but above all its unstable. Just trying to create a simple four sided box with a flat roof but program crashes when doing an undo.
James,
I'm sorry you found the software difficult to use, and also your experience with an Undo causing a crash.
One thing that most customers have found helpful is our Tutorial Videos which cover a variety of common functions within Model Builder
https://www.evandesignsmodelbuilder.com/tutorials
As for the Program Crashing when trying to Undo an operating, we have not had other reports of this.
I can investigate, however, it would help if you could identify the operation that you were attempting to Undo so that it can be tested and corrected, or attach the file that had the problem so I have something to work with.
Dave
**UPDATE** James, it was great working with you and we are glad we were able to resove your issue

I’ve been using Model Builder software for almost 15 years and really like it. I bought it mainly for N scale but later went into HO and O scale and used it extensively for those scales. It’s a great piece of software for creating great looking buildings that can be enhanced with further details. Highly recommend it for model railroad and diorama enthusiast. I bought a new computer win11 so I thought I would purchase the version for win11. My old version was for Vista 7. Thanks for a great piece of software for quick and easy card stock buildings and nice selection of LEDs for light effects. Highly recommend.
