Live Home 3D for Mac, a successor of Live Interior 3D, is the powerful yet intuitive home design software that lets you build the house of your dreams right on your Mac. It doesn't matter whether you're a homeowner who is planning some upcoming home improvements or a professional interior designer trying to bridge the gap between ideas and visualization. Live Home 3D can help you.



Features and Highlights

Work in 2D and 3D Environment
Live Home 3D for macOS helps you to draft detailed 2D floor plans and automatically build the structure in 3D. You can trace the imported floor plan or start from scratch using the program smart tools.

Apply Materials and Add Furniture
You can design and decorate the interior by optimizing the furniture arrangement and making smart color decisions. The app turns the process of room decoration into fun.

Rich Object Collections
You can choose from a built-in library of couches, chairs, kitchen sets, appliances, doors, and other items. What’s more, integration with Trimble 3D Warehouse™ allows you to download thousands of free 3D models from the online storage.

Results You Can Use
Make changes to your home design project and share the results with clients, colleagues, friends, and family. Set up a custom camera angle and export the view to JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and BMP. Render a 3D video walkthrough and share on YouTube or Vimeo. Create 360° Panorama JPEG images or 360° videos.

Create 2D Floor Plans
Start your interior design project by drawing a 2D floor plan with intuitive, point-and-click drafting tools. Measure out rooms and walls in just a couple of clicks. Add furniture, doors and windows. Set cameras and movie tracks to shoot the interior design views.

Furniture and Material Collections
Figure out the furniture arrangement and color scheme of any room before lifting a single finger or ordering paint. Drag and drop furniture, decorations, doors, and more from library of over 1,500 objects and easily change the fabrics, colors, and finishes using over 2,100 included materials.

Export Options
Your work lives both inside and outside of LiveHome 3D for macOS. You can make changes in the app and share the results with clients, colleagues, friends, and family.

Floor Plans, Screenshots and Video
You will be able to export a floor plan in PDF, JPEG, 360° Panorama JPEG, TIFF, PNG or BMP file format. You can also export a snapshot of your interior view to JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and BMP. It is easy to set a camera path and to record a 3D video walkthrough of the project, including 360° videos for sharing on Facebook or Youtube.

Note: In demo version, save function is disabled. Requires 64-bit processor.
