Attention 3D Home Architect® users!

IMSI/Design has launched a new ‘turbo-charged’ line of home design and landscaping products under our TurboFLOORPLAN brand. These products use the same technology found in 3D Home Architect® versions 5 – 8, so any drawings you’ve created in these products, are completely compatible with our new TurboFLOORPLAN products! Both products use the .BLD file format.

If you are interested in upgrading to any of our TurboFLOORPLAN products, please call us at 1-800-833-8082 or email us at sales@imsidesign.com to find out more about special upgrade pricing exclusively available to 3D Home Architect® owners.
