Sadly I stopped using it because i needed a modeler that could output a file that a high end rendering program could read properly.FYI:
Good news! While it is true that in years past some "high-end" rendering applications could not properly read the DXF polyline entities exported from DesignWorkshop, for the last couple of years both DesignWorkshop Classic Home Design and DesignWorkshop Professional have been able to export fully triangulated DXF 3D models, which are so lowest-common-denominator that even the "high-end" rendering programs can read them.
The 3D DXF export options in DesignWorkshop Classic and Professional should work effectively with the DXF import functions of 100% of all other minimally adequate 3D software.
Cheers,
