I am sure you could work something out using iphoto and iDVD. Go to the apple web-site and see if there is anything ready made.

I purchased Q home inventory prob a year ago worked with it probably two times and gave up.. the program is so bare bones, so elementary. I couldn't believe it. You will have to jump through ten hoops to accomplish what you should in 2. I could not believe the Quicken put out such an inferer product

Chief Architect is the company name and their professional product. The one I use is $2690. With hindsight, I should have spent more time with the $495 Home Designer Pro but they did credit me the full price against Chief Architect. Their Home Designer is a series of programs from $99 to $495 with various degrees of additional function. They have a comparison of functions here: https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/products/product-chooser.html They have a free trial so you can get an idea of how it works. Lots of videos with basic training to help you get started. Having two monitors or a second computer to run the video really helps get you started. There are lots of catalogs that are downloadable. If you want to see what a certain Owens Corning roof looks like on your 3-D view, you just download it. I am very familiar with Sketchup, use it several time a week, and it is great for many things. Can't imagine using it for this BUT it can be done. FWIW, if you are thinking about using sketchup for woodworking, buy this training video: http://www.tauntonstore.com/fine-woodworkings-google-sketchup-guide-for-woodworkers-basics-download-067125.html I spent a bunch of time looking at free Sketchup training, this is was priceless. Chief Architect imports things built in Sketchup into your house project. You build a piece of furniture in Sketchup and bring it in as an object in CA/HomeDesigner, and then you can see how it looks.

If you don't need space for socializing on the deck, I think you would be better served by a simple, 6' wide runway deck/walk that hugs the house and then devote the leftover space to planting. Split the steps with half at the deck and half at the entrance to the walk (from the drive.) It would seem a lot more luxurious to you if you made the step-treads 16" (front-to-back depth.) Use a conventional railing instead of seating. (You can't post photos by embedding code, but you can upload them directly from your computer by using the "Photo" button at the bottom of the window where you create the post.)
