Quick video tour of Live Interior 3D available.

Create multi-story projects, add seven unique roof styles and automatically construct a roof using Roof Assistant. Use supplied stairs or define any imported object as stairs.

Adjust walls by making niches and openings in them. You can also apply different surface materials to walls by creating custom wall panels.

Light Source Manager allows to create lamps by adding multiple light sources to any furniture object. Conveniently position every light source within 3D object, adjust light color and attenuation, set glow type, control spot direction.

You can edit any 3D object directly from the program using Google SketchUp.

Alter any supplied material or create your own from an image or photo using advanced options to achieve the required 3D object surface.

Check out the comparison between Standard and Pro editions.

****.

MACLOVER1.1  Overall this could be a great piece of software, yet the 2D drafting tools are a little awkward and make it difficult to be precise, for example the grid becomes very choppy-looking at high magnification percentages (though for precise-snapping/measurements it is often important to magnify a lot as the grid automatically changes it's definition as one changes magnification). It would be nice to have a panel that would allow one to place guides entering their coordinates. I also find that snapping is a little fickle (with no preference to be set in this realm). Also the usual Mac shift/constrain does not apply in this software... Overall it seems to me the 2D environment still needs quite a bit of refining/rethinking. On the 3D side it is pretty-well done.. though the 3D import is limited (.obj support would be welcome for instance.. for example some sort of Poser import to bring in a few people to amke a scene more lively and give a better scaling appreciation of space). Also is no way to decide on a scale of import for 3DS objects (no import preference whatsoever). Last but not least, user-created guides are on a same layer as walls, furniture and all objects, yet cannot be locked as can objects. For exmapl if you do a select all.. your guides get selected. Some sort of layer system (apart from the "storeys") would be very welcome.. as it is the project tree can get quite confusing and it would be nice to be able to create one's own folder structure.. the only way to sort of do this is to group objects. Overall I like this soft.. and really hope it will become a little more refined.
