Reader Reviews
I have come so very close to getting this program to work for me, and have even gotten exploratory value out of it, but you should know that the database is often corrupted by the tool, and requires program re-installation and design recreation. In the words of the help file (on line at ...): MBuilder Has Encountered a Problem... When using the program, the following message appears: "MBuilder has encountered problem." There are several possible causes for this issue. The remainder of this note describes how to proceed. Determine If the Plan Is Corrupt 1. Launch 3D Home Architect® and create a new plan. 2. Add a basic structure to the plan. 3. Save the plan and close 3D Home Architect®. 4. Launch 3D Home Architect® and open the plan created in Steps 1 & 2 above. 5. Choose from the following: * If the error message does not reoccur when working with the new plan, the previous plan is most likely corrupt. Recreate the plan or restore a backup copy of the plan. * If the same error reoccurs, continue with the following procedures. These suggestions will help to prevent corruption in future plans -- Further instructions tell you to turn off large displays, accelerations, etc. As long as you have separate backups every 15 minutes or so (not just saving the file, but saving to a set of many different files) then you may be able to recover some of your work. The problem is, you may work for a long time with the program working, but with save files written by the program that are corrupt. Once written out, it can't be read back in. I have worked with their on-line help system, and have been referred to the instructions: just reinstall and recreate what you did. My question to them was, "How do I know what to avoid?" Part of the problem is that the design may be OK in memory, but when it gets written out, it is corrupt. There is a "repair database" command that sometimes works, but only if the file is still in memory, and not always then. Identifying what caused the problem has eluded me so far (50+ hours of use, design not finished) A hint for you if you do use the program: you should know that small pieces of walls can be left behind as remnants. When walls start to act funny, expand the area, pull all of the walls back out of the intersections, and delete the little pieces that are left. You can then rejoin the wall segments and continue. (you will need to redo roofs ceilings and floors, but you will be used to that by then. Try it, many parts work extremely well, but make all your decisions up front, because changing is tedious. Just a few things would enhance the utility of the program tremendously: a copy/paste that works between files, a robust database, and a format painter that can work on trim. Good luck.
