This works very well and is simple to do using a handheld GPS unit such as Magellan or Garmin sells that uses GPX formats for points. You can take a few measurements with a handheld GPS unit or several for even more accurate terrain features like hills and slopes and download them to the Home Designer program. This will give you accurate lot measurements for the lot your home design will be on as well as elevation readings for your terrain.
Other features for the Home Designer program include over 3,700 plants for landscaping, create and save a virtual video tour, current materials, paint and coverings from popular manufacturers including Sherwin Williams, Marvin, Benjamin Moore and Mohawk.
The Home Designer Suite from Better Homes and Gardens and Chief Architect is a great home design program with plenty of features and works very well for designing your own home or creating floor plans for remodeling projects. The Home Designer Suite version 8.0 is the newest in the home design line of home design software and one that I highly recommend to get the most from your remodeling or home building project.
