It's pretty convenient for the simpler repetitive tasks, but not so handy for more custom or complex arrangments. Its mainly due to programming limitations on how it handles complex roofs, walls that don't intersect at 90°, steps in floor elevation, etc. Good luck.

You might also want to go to wwpa.org and get their free suite excel that calculates wood columns and beams. It might help.
