É um app completo, principalmente se comparado a outros que possuem o mesmo propósito. Pros A usabilidade e as ferramentas são incríveis para quem deseja fazer seus projetos, inclusive para quem não tem muita familiaridade com a tecnologia, isso porque é um app de fácil uso. A qualidade dos elementos em 3D é alta, dando um resultado de ótima qualidade para os projetos a serem realizados. Cons Infelizmente a maioria das funcionalidades é disponibilizada apenas para quem realizar uma assinatura. Além disso, o app tem agregado outros conteúdos para os usuários, fazendo-o ocupar mais espaço na memória do celular, assim como tira o foco do usuário. Review Source SW Stefan W. CPO Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "360° Walkthrough-Funktion ist Top, Import fehlt leider leider" March 27, 2024 4.0 Ich bin beeindruckt von den virtuellen Spaziergängen, die das Programm in der PRO Version ermöglicht. Es ist faszinierend, wie man durch die Räume der eigenen Entwürfe wandern kann. Die 360° Walkthrough-Funktion hebt dieses Erlebnis noch weiter hervor, indem sie es mir erlaubt, meine Projekte aus jeder erdenklichen Perspektive zu betrachten und so ein tiefes Verständnis für jede Raumgestaltung zu entwickeln. Allerdings gibt es nur 5 Kameraperspektiven und diese sollten in Sichtweite liegen, um geschmeidig zu navigieren. Ein weiterer großer Pluspunkt ist der schnelle und effiziente Kundenservice über den Chat. Fragen werden schnell beantwortet. Auch die umfangreiche Bibliothek an Elementen für die Raumgestaltung finde ich Klasse. Sie bietet mir eine Vielzahl von Optionen, mit denen ich meine Einrichtungsideen verwirklichen kann. Allerdings gibt es auch Aspekte, die verbesserungswürdig sind. Das Fehlen einer Importfunktion finde ich besonders enttäuschend. Es würde mir sehr helfen, bestehende Entwürfe oder spezielle Elemente in meine Projekte zu integrieren, ohne von vorn beginnen zu müssen. Außerdem stört mich die mangelhafte Synchronisierung zwischen der Webversion und anderen Geräten, was zu Inkonsistenzen in meinen Projekten führt und den Arbeitsfluss beeinträchtigt. Insgesamt finde ich Planner 5D trotz dieser Kritikpunkte sehr nützlich für meine Projekte. Die Vorteile wie die realistischen Spaziergänge, der zuverlässige Kundenservice und die reichhaltige Auswahl an Gestaltungselementen überwiegen für mich klar die Nachteile. Ich würde mir allerdings wünschen, dass die Entwickler an einer Verbesserung der Synchronisationsfähigkeiten und der Einführung einer Importfunktion arbeiten, um die Benutzererfahrung weiter zu optimieren. Pros 360° Walkthrough-Funktion und umfangreiche Bibliothek an Elementen für die Raumgestaltung Cons Das Fehlen einer Importfunktion finde ich besonders enttäuschend sowie die mangelhafte Synchronisierung zwischen der Webversion und anderen Geräten.

Bentley Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Bentleys review" April 29, 2024 5.0 Every good Pros Easy to use and easy to understand best app ever Cons I cant do a lot without paying for it Review Source PB Pradeep B. PM Animation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Product" May 6, 2024 5.0 Pros Availability of options, great images, and 3d rendering Cons There should have been a free trial period Review Source Aleksandra A. Owners Facilities Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A program worth recommending" January 23, 2024 5.0 I definitely recommend the program! Thanks to him, many families got the design of their dream place. I can't imagine designing without this program. It is easy to use and very intuitive. You can create a professional project for a client or a project for yourself. Huge selection of materials and equipment. Pros A huge database of materials, textures, devices and furniture. Additionally, the ability to create your own things using good tools. Cons No program for computer. I have no further objections. Review Source Sharon C. Interior Designer and Owner Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "If you are a E-Designer this is the perfect 3D interior design program" January 9, 2019 5.0 I was introduced to Planner 5D four years ago when I needed to do 3D model after my student Revit expired and my sketchup wasn’t doing the job for my rendering needs. I found it a little challenging in the beginning but after watching the tutorials on You Tube, I got the hang of it. You’ll need it when you are doing second levels. All of my clients love their designs, they come realistic. I would advise to show the plans prior to rendering, because rendering can get pricey. You can put together plans quickly and make changes on the fly. I tell all of my friends to try this program. I wished I had it in school. Pros The pricing is excellent, really quick to learn and every design is beautiful when it comes together and it offered on every major platform and on tablets. Easy to apply different textures, wallpapers and paint colors. Gorgeous renders. Cons I wished they offered curved and geometric objects to build with and more offerings for ceiling and roof treatments. The furniture catalog has come along way, but they need more offerings or be paired with larger retailers. Review Source BM Bri M. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Not a pro" April 28, 2023 5.0 Extremely happy- I love the design battles. I can’t wait for Sunday nights when a new one comes out. I look forward to it all week and appreciate the ability to develop my design skills further. Pros I have enjoyed Planner 5D because for a novice like myself it’s been easy to learn, has great features and there are updates and new items added in often, the items provided are contemporary but also have range for difference in styles. I’m impressed that you can scan in a room and design it- this is something I’ve needed all my life for when I move, absolute game changer. Overall, it’s a great product and the customer service department has been quick and great to give answers/ solutions. Cons There are a few bugs to be fixed but they fix it relatively quickly and are happy to take the advice. Speaking with a customer service rep is easy and friendly. Review Source KL Kweku L.

Mr Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very limted functionality" February 22, 2024 2.0 All too often I feel I am working against the tool, instead of with it. This is annoying and time consuming. If somebody can give me a tip about a better tool, with the functionality I am listing as missing, I will change in a snap. Pros Nice 3d renderings, although hard to zoom in and out. Cons 1: Buggy. Windows and doors skip around once added to a wall. I often have to put them back in place several times before they stuck. 2: I cannot create a room with irregular ceiling height, with different wall heights. The recommended "solution" using the magic cube is suboptimal, to say the least. If I replace a wall with a magic cube, I cannot add a window without losing the transparency. 3: I tried to create a loft with triangular end walls, which cost me all sorts of trickery and time, with a half-baked result. 4: Setting colors is a pain, because it is impossible to know to which part of an object (e.g. a window) a color square pertains. Trial-and-error is not good enough. Badly needed functionality: 1: Mark a room corner, and change its height, so that the adjacent walls and ceiling follow. 2: Change height of indivdual walls. 3: Make it possible to change size of each side and each edge of the magic cube, not only in the three spacial dimensions like now. 4: Make it possible to snap a door or window into the magich cube without losing the transparency. 5: We need a 'rubber band' grouping of objects, like in PowerPoint. 6: Grouped objects should be movable by arrow, not only ny mouse. 7: We need \*menus\* for grouping/ungrouping object, and a lot of more things.

It has a variety of different options for furniture, decorations, textures, surfaces etc. that makes it great for visualising the space! Cons Can sometimes be a bit fiddly when trying to rotate objects/move around, etc. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Estate Officer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent app " June 3, 2023 4.0 Its easy to use with lots of design tools Pros The rendering features is very nice and detailed Cons The rendering takes time and more design tools should be imported Review Source JS Julia S.

I spend hours on it every day! 100/10 Cons Na it’s perfect Okay I’d like to be able to rotate entire rooms but it’s still 100/10 Review Source SS Shujjah S. Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Professional & most honest Review of Planner 5D" August 29, 2022 5.0 Overall Planner 5D is such a excellent software that if you are a interior designer or a Architect, you will fall in love with it. It gives you variety of options to design your project and the furnished results are very realistic. the most important thing is that you will find many tutorial videos on video streaming sites (YouTube etc.) which helps the beginners to learn and execute their projects in quick time. As an professional Architect, I highly recommend Planner 5D to my collogues and any other person who interested to buy this wonderful software, it will worth to work on Planner 5D Pros A very convenient software to deployed and easy to use even for the beginners. Gives you the results in a very realistic visuals especially for the interior designing. the paid version have hundreds of modern blocks to be use in design. Rendering at its best and very fascinating for the users as well as for the viewers Nominal price and overall best output Cons Not very much except few commands like blocks updating and renaming the object and selecting multiple items. Review Source RB Ronna B. Upper School Technology Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Super Helpful for our Zoo Redesign Challenge!" January 8, 2024 5.0 Very happy with the capabilities. I have used it for courses, for physical planning purposes and redesign of spaces in the school as well. Love it! Pros Customer service added free educational accounts for us so that we could use it for a zoo redesign challenge for the Minnesota Zoo. They were required to use a 3D design platform, but the free version was too limited so we were given free education licenses. The project was much more sophisticated and realistic as a result of using Planner 5D! Cons I wish it allowed the ability to resize without having to change the dimensions manually. I would like to be able to go to the corner of an object or room and increase the scale that way. Switched from [SketchUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/211798/SketchUp/) Sketchup has fewer built-in features and objects in the free version. Review Source SB Samuel B.

Interior Decorator Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "5d Planner" July 31, 2023 3.0 5d planner is very useful and even if the app has some limitations, the support team is very helpful and are quick to respond to the app issues. Pros I appreciate the ability to upload textures to give more realistic renderings of the rooms I am creating. My clients appreciate that I can try-on different looks and colours and helps them visualize a pretty 3D version of their space. Cons The items (furnishings) in the catalogue can be updated more frequently to be current with design trends. Also I have experienced some recurring bugs with modifying furniture details such as colour and sizing, for which I escalated. And I look forward if 5d planner provides diagonal layouts in their construction features, to allow for diagonal wall panelling. Review Source TF Tiffany F. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Advanced features with user-friendly interface " April 28, 2023 5.0 The middle school course that I teach is an integration of technology into community service projects. The students need access to professional-level software but that often comes with a high learning curve. Our class time is valuable and Planner 5D allows my students to get the functionality and features of a more advanced program but with a much more user-friendly interface and usability. Pros I love the ease of adding objects to plans. It has the usability I need for my middle school students but also has the functionalities of more advanced programs that they need to complete high-level design projects. Cons We haven't found a way to share projects between team members, other than sharing a 3d model of the project. There may be a way that we haven't found yet. Switched from [SketchUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/211798/SketchUp/) Easier to use for my students, has the features they need without a high learning curve. Review Source JH Jason H.

I love how it creates something for you. It helps you expand your imagination and creativity, as well as helpful to homeowners! I am obsessed! Cons There's not too much to worry about, expect not many items in non-premium but your imagination can still soar! Review Source NL Nicolas L. Owner and Manager Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool for anyone working with plans." May 30, 2023 4.0 I can create 3D models of plans from vendors and constructors and offer a virtual experience for potential buyers. Pros The plan import functionality and easiness of creating and editing plans as well as creating 3d´s and renders from those makes this tool a must have. Cons The 3D function could be improved quality and the navigation through rooms is a bit difficult. Review Source EH Eyal H. Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The use of the 5D planner in the school classroom opens the students to the professions of the futur" September 6, 2023 5.0 Planner5D inspires wonder among students. We integrate it into multidisciplinary learning, and it allows the integration of students in heterogeneous groups, and providing a broad response to the diversity among students Pros The use of the software is intuitive.

Agent Real Estate Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Easy and fast to use" May 11, 2023 5.0 My personal experience by now is really enjoyable and overall a good and fluid experience, wuold reccomand it Pros The best part about this product is definitely the 3D rendering that can provide a lot of value to the service that i offer to my client.A product that i would for sure use and abuse to give tons of value and be different from other real estate agent. Cons There's no a particular part that i don't like the most, it would came out after hours and hours of usage but for the first 10hrs everything is perfect and easy to use Review Source SB Sebabrata B. Associate Director Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Doing my own interior" June 26, 2023 5.0 I have been searching for a good user friendly tool where I can do the interior myself, instead of a designer. Looks like Planner 5D is the best option. So far liking the tool for its user-friendliness and the options it brings in on to the table. A great tool Pros User-friendliness, Options to design, the different layering and rendering options Cons Nothing as such. I have been using the tool for last 2 weeks and have not seen any challenges as such. Review Source Similar Products Featured
