Can you use it for something like drawing a planned house addition to an existing house?

Smartdraw provides you with the capability to create "clean sheet" house plans as well as drawings to support additions to existing structures. If you are creating an addition you will need to create an existing conditions plan that captures the current structure components, and will form the basis for the addition plans. Your local building governance codes will likely require that you capture existing conditions prior to the issuance of the building permit for the addition. Depending on the covenants that may be in force in your neighbourhood, a detailed floor plan and elevation will likely be all you need for job permitting on an addition. Smartdraw provides you with easy to use template to address both of these design challenges, and the software is intuitive, and easy to use. I am in the building business and can not tell how much money I would have saved on draftsman fees if I had known about Smartdraw....good luck with the addition.....

It isn't set up for it. With a little ingenuity it would be possible. Keep in mind that it is painted to face the way it shows. So you would probably want to paint it...

You can use it for both activities. Additional maps will depend on the level of detail you want. There are area specific maps available. But for general use it should be fine.

You could use a magnet to hold paper. Drawing would be fine. As long as you don't go too crazy with the paint, it should work. That's not what its made to do.

No on both points. however it can save a step by step on the same drawing. this way you can remove layers on the completed drawing.

Absolutely. You can draw individual components and save them in the library. You can also create different layers to show separate parts of the circuit.

Jennifer, I would think it would be handy for banquet planning and layout. They have templates for everything, including rectangles, round tables, chairs, etc. that you can make to the size you need. You can duplicate the walls, wall openings, doorways, etc, so you get good traffic flow. It's not hard to use, and if you run into problems, call the help line and they walk you through. Good Luck, Brooke

You can either draw into the program on a sketch layer, or if you draw on paper you can scan it, either or is good. i recommend a great drawing tablet however.

I would think so. You can use the stencil on card stock for a nice outline. The stencil is to make an outline of the shape/object, there is no detail (I.e eyes, fins, leaves) you would sketch that in if you are looking for more detail.

I guess you can but it comes with a nice polished finish. You would have to sand it all down. But I'm no painter so ask a professional lol It is very nice tho

Yes it can as long as the existing wallpaper is not peeling. Existing seams would have to be pasted if they are loose. This paper will is thicker so it covers designs and small imperfections in the existing wallcovering.

hi, yes, from what I am told you do need a software program. The machine is only capable of doing a 5 by 7 design. You would have to rehoop the design. I'm a newbie too. So much to learn!

You get to make the design however you wish. They are beautiful and easy to use. Worth the price. Good luck ☺

You can as long as you have another specialized software, the tablet hasi its own software wich can help you, but i rather use it for drawings and design!

Unless your drawing very detailed website images I'd think you'd be okay with either. You may lose a bit of accuracy, a few shortcut buttons and some sensitivity when you push down but it doesn't really seem like you'd use the features anyway.

If it's in your computer you can print whatever you need to on it. I been doing greeting cards for the family on them for years and mine are always looked forward too because there not store bought. A lot of add on material is can be found under google images to enhance projects.
