### "Merging Layers"

January 15, 2019

4.0

so far I only had one client but it takes time

Pros

I like everything about the software but what I like the most is that you can up twice with the front and back buttons

Cons

not enough empty rooms, not able to merge layers, the background eraser still needs to be worked on, for some reason the crop doesn't goes the length you want, also waiting for the android and iphone platform.

### "Design Files is an integral part of my design business"

June 30, 2021

5.0

Pros

This software is easy to learn and use, and the overall look is very professional when you submit projects to clients.

Cons

Would love to be able to pull in the client's actual furniture from my library and put it in the overhead view, instead of random furniture. This is a little confusing to clients sometimes.

March 19, 2019

A+ experience with excellent communication from DesignFiles

Pros

There are several features that I love about the software, but my favorite is the dimensional tool that allows for a more realistic 3D view. I also appreciate the background removal tools.

Cons

There are a few glitches, but they are usually worked out within a few hours

### "Software for 2 &3D design "

August 5, 2019

4.0

I really enjoy using this software! Just wish there was more features to enhance my projects.

Pros

I like mostly about the software is the ease of use for my designs!

Cons

The size of the page when building the 3D model. The tabs on the right side are in the way of my workspace of the room where I'm trying to build the 3D space.

### "Great Tool for designers "

June 17, 2020

4.0

So Far its been pretty good, but wish they are able to expand their capability to be able to used with IPADS

Pros

It’s ease of use and ability to share the presentation and costs with clients.

Cons

Sometimes you can not clip certain aspects, and you cant download the clipper to an IPAD application, or use as well on IPAD

Reason for choosing DesignFiles

Ease of use, and great user interface

December 3, 2020

5.0

I spoke with Design files on one occasion. My experience was pleasant and stress free.

Pros

It's an all in one software. Everything you need is in the interface.

Cons

I am still trying to get the hang of the 3-d. However, anything new has a learning curve. I haven't found any dislikes.

### "Great product for creating concept boards"

October 19, 2018

3.0

I love being able to have all items together in one location that allows me to give clients a visual, but I would love to be able to create floor plans to allow clients to more easily see the layout I have in mind. Some sort of simple click and drag where the items auto fill into a certain place.

Pros

The ability to assemble all products together in a cohesive board that provides an excellent visual for clients.

Cons

If i adjust the size of my screen the size of the tool of the toolbar gets really tiny and can only be fixed if I reload my browser.

April 19, 2020

5.0

Pros

I like the easy to create the boards, adding products and editing design boards as well. The features that allow you to custom what the client sees are awesome.

Cons

Cons is not being able to find a blank space that is similar to the room I am designing that is my biggest struggle.

### "Great for Edesign"

April 17, 2020

5.0

Excellent

Pros

I have only used this for two projects but have been really happy with the results. It is fairly easy to use and sends all the info to my client and lets them approve or reject. Definitely a great tool for me to use. Their customer service is outstanding. I had an issue and they worked with me for over an hour!

Cons

It would be nice to have more choices in the categories like the whole catalog. Sometimes when I have clipped a specific thing then add it to project it will say shop it and then when I click it will just go to the website in general and. It the specific thing I clipped so that is not helpful

### "If your business is E-Design you should be using DesignFiles.Co"

January 29, 2019

5.0

I use DesignFiles for both my Staging and e-Design businesses. The new perspective tools allow you to create awesome 3D images! Tutorial videos help you to quickly learn your way around and jump start your projects. I love visiting the Expert Articles & Guides for industry trends, tips, and new ideas.

Pros

New tools and enhancements constantly added to improve experience and increase productivity of end users

Cons

Prior to the new Distort Tool, it was quite cumbersome to add paint colors to walls or even angle rugs on the floor.

### "Olio Transition"

February 11, 2019

5.0

I was originally an Olio board user. While I have to admit I was bummed about it not being a free service when it changed over to Design Files... I also feel like it gives me an edge over the average homeowner and makes my services that much more desirable. It is also very user friendly and I found there was a very little learning curve.

Pros

Learning to use the software was very easy.

Cons

Con- That a client that has worked with another designer could not be sent a design file to the same email address that was previously used.

Pros
