Home design is as easy as pushing a button

THERE JS a way to explore all of
your residential dreams without
redrawing the Moor plan each time.
Computer Aided Design and
Drafting (CADD) technology
makes home planning easy.

The benefits of using a computer
to help draw home plans is substan-

be exactly 10 feet and seven inches
— not the approximation you'd risk

Another is the built-in library of

pre-drawn, commonly-used archi-
tectural symbols and appliances.
Closet doors, water heaters, stairs,
electrical outlets, and even sofas
and chairs can be easily added to
your design with the click of a
mouse button.

Perhaps the greatest benefit of

all is how easy it is to alter your
drawing.

complex drawing can be tedious
when youre working on paper.
With a computer program, remov-
