 Wasted Time and Money October 31, 2008

I bought this product with the single purpose of designing and building my workshop. Having been involved with steep learning curves on other software, I also enrolled in Punch University to learn how to use the software. After looking at the first lesson, I realized I couldn't find the tools they were using. I couldn't find the toolbar. After an email to them, I get a call from Customer Service telling me that the University provides instruction in an entirely different product and no, there is no training available for the version I bought. Tuition was rerfunded a few days after they said it would be so I decided to go it on my own. Understand that I am no neophyte to drawing and CAD programs. After many false starts and hitches, I have the building drawn and fire up their "Power Tool" called Framing Editor and hope to get a materials list and a drawing. No joy. Software wouldn't print from that view and the materials list didn't include framing. Gave up and threw in the towel. They got me on this one so be careful if you're considering this software. I gave it one star because the system wouldn't let me go lower. On the piece of [...] scale this thing reeks.

Although I'm unable to compare this with other titles in the same category, I think Punch! Home & Landscape Design Suite is a great program. If you're interested in home improvement or construction, this is a great tool! Getting started is quick and easy but all the possibilities will keep you involved with this program for a long time. I created a model of our current house and the 3D walk-through is an uncanny experience. The ability to visualize improvement ideas is of great assistance. Much better than heading out to the store and looking at samples and trying to picture it in your head.
