I've been using 3D Home Architect, which is easy, but not very robust. I wanted something with more features. from Amazon.com If you're looking to spend a few hours designing a home with a few click and drags and plopping windows, cabinets, and furniture into place, this software is NOT for you. The word "Professional", should imply professional-grade software, not "you need to be a professional user of our quirky software to make use of this correctly". from Amazon.com I have used a number of home design software programs over the past 15 years. I started with Visio and never had a question on how to "break a wall" or create a "wall opening." For some reason who ever created this program had the intention of wanting to create an immense amount of stress for the user. from Amazon.com I was hesitant to try this software based on some of the reviews but I went ahead and got it along with the Punch University subscription (on-line videos). I have just finished the 6th lesson and I can now create a multilevel building with rooms and custom roof. from Amazon.com After being tortured by Total 3D Home Design Punch was like drinking a glass of cool water! The program runs without a glitch on Windows XP Pro and is as detailed as anyone wants to get. from Amazon.com I've had nothing but problems with Punch Software from the beginning, even purchasing it was a problem. I won't go into the many examples and gory details, but it's enough to know that I couldn't even get the software installed on my Vista machine: the Support site lets you know that you have to turn off the user authentication control and start in Safe Mode to install it, and even that didn't work for me. from Amazon.com Although there is a learning curve in using this software, it comes with all the "bells & whistles" Should one need further info, there are numerous forums, and manufacturers support. I am on the way to designing my home from Amazon.com It's exceedingly slow (and I have a fast system), it has numerous bugs and it's a pain to use once you get past the basics. I could never get the material/color selection to work with my Nvidia graphics card and after swapping to an ATI card which it was supposed to work with it still didn't work properly. After suffering with Punch! for a week I wanted to punch the developers! from Amazon.com This is a good program for the money -- not a professional program - but also not for beginners. It does give you a good sense of what the finished house will look like. from Amazon.com Takes a long time to load software. Very difficult to learn & use & looks like a steep learning curve ahead. Perhaps easier for those familar with earlier versions or similar product. Just not intuitive. from Amazon.com
