For interior designers, the tools of the application have most of their needs covered. First, they have an abundant set of choices for the paint and the fabrics.

They are also given an abundant library containing different types of carpets, woods, and tiles that they can add to any room of the house. There are also lots of options for the countertops which includes materials such as granites and marbles which are commonly used.

One of the best parts of the application is its visualization of the 2D design into a 3D one. This is done in a photorealistic manner made possible by natural lighting that can be controlled by the user. 3D walkthroughs are very easy to do with the use of a camera with a lot of options so that users can present their design properly. 

The application has specific designs for the different rooms of the house, specifically the kitchen, baths, and more. This can be seen with the different applications and materials that are specifically catered for these rooms to make it more accurate such as granite and marble countertops, kitchen cabinets, bathrooms designed for the disable, and more. 

It also has its own deck builder wizard where you can design patios and decks depending on a specific material, shape, or size. You can also insert gazebos, sheds, fences, gates, pathways, driveways, irrigation, and more. Included in the tools that you can design the outdoors with are waterfalls, barbecues, fountains, and more.

Finally, the application has a lot of features for creating the landscape. The application also has a plant encyclopedia where information about the nutrition of specific plants and trees can be seen so that users can accommodate it to fit their garden. Lastly, users can also simulate different lightings and seasons for the garden to visualize it better.
