 Difficult to use, 2006-05-07
A couple of years ago I bought a similar product from Punch software and gave up on it after a few days of trying to figure out how to use it. (And I'm very technical and generally good with new software). I would not recommend this software unless you have hours to learn to use it properly.
Google recently released a FREE home design software. Much like other Google products, this one is very easy to use - although not as powerful as one you might purchase. Before buying, I strongly recommend you check out Google's offering. Visit sketchup.google.com to take a look.

Extremely complicated for a beginner!, 2006-03-21
In preparation to remodel our master bathroom, I thought it would be fun and interesting to find a software package that was simple but effecient. I was expecting this program to possibly ask for a few measurements and then piece my project together for me. Sadly, I was very wrong.
It offers above and beyond what I need. The software itself seems fabulous if you know how to use it right away, but unless you have experience with this type of program, or you are highly motivated to delve into the 200 plus page manual that comes with it, my suggestion would be to look for something a lot less technical.
Honestly, I'm just finishing up my fourth hour on it and I still haven't gotten anywhere.... except to Amazon.com, looking for a different program.

 Design your home, 2005-09-25
Application offers many features, however it must be studied to be used effectivily. Not for the impatient or get up and go user.

 WARNING - This seller has FALSE information!, 2005-03-03
The description on this AMAZON.com post says that the software is Mac compatible -- I work for Punch! Software and most assuredly can tell you that it is NOT compatible with Mac.

Not ready for prime-time, 2004-03-16
Very, very limited. Decides arbitrarily to link walls together so that an interior wall becomes an exterior wall, and changing the interior back changes all the walls in the group. No way to break a wall once you've put a window or door in it unless you first remove the window or door. Selection of textures is very, very limited and there is no documented way to import more. Selection of objects the same--the 3d designer does allow new objects to be defined but compared to any kind of real 3-d CAD program, including the freeware version of Intellicad (no longer available alas), it's horribly weak, and no way to import from a real CAD program unless maybe you spring for one of the more expensive versions. No doorknobs. No way to specify where lights are located, at least none that I can find--there are lamp objects but they don't provide light, they just sit there.It's a cheap program that acts like a cheap program.
