CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
If you've ever dreamed of being an architect or landscape designer, this software may be tailor-made for you. The program offers a suite of extraordinarily intuitive tools to help design a home, bringing a user step by step through the process from foundation to roof. A simple drag-and-drop interface helps finish a project with everything from electrical sockets to trees in the yard, drawing from a huge library of interior and exterior objects. A 3D preview function, complete with variable lighting, allows a would-be designer to see the work as a whole. The trial version of the download does have tight restrictions, disabling many of the tools and objects and making it impossible to save work. However, we recommend the tool strongly to anyone in the process of designing a home or landscaping a yard.Publisher's description

Version: Punch Professional Home Design Platinum Suite 8
"Easy to use. Doesnt cost like Auto Cad"
Pros: User friendly interface. Does foundation, Floor, plumbing and landscaping. Easy to use. Bought the full version and the power tools are really nice. Wow it even does cost estimation. Brings in files from Autocad. The framing Editor allows you to turn stud walls to concrete or concrete block.
Cons: I couldnt get it to run at first, till I updated my video drivers, then it worked just fine.
No Macintosh support.

Version: Punch Professional Home Design Platinum Suite 8
Cons: Poorly written and laid out user guide; not for the novice; very frustrating to understand; this should be easy but Punch has made it almost impossible to enjoy.
