 Useful program., 2007-03-10
Not for the faint of heart. This is a hard core design program. It will give you what you want once you get the hang of it. It's not real hard to learn, just intense programming. Very professional.

 Punch Pro Home Design Platinum 10.0, 2007-02-17
Software would not load, corrupt install file. Online help said use XP safe mode, same result. E-mail request for help was never responded to other than the auto response to indicate they had received my e-mail.
Hope I can get a refund!

Pretty cool stuff, 2006-07-06
I started with HD platinum and thought it was rewarding as i learned to use the program. In a few hours I had my college house designed right down to my roomate's EXACT computer, and my EXACT bed pattern. Very cool! My landlord loved it, and it's neat how much it looks like it looks in real life. There's still so much more i can do with the program, but after just a few hours I feel like I learned a ton. My roomate used it to design a bar for a school project and the teacher loved it. We both thought it was pretty easy to use and could do exactly what we wanted to do with it.

Poor Quality and Outdated Interface, 2006-07-04
The documentation is sparse and more similar to a dictionary than a user's guide. There are video tutorials (screen recordings) but their simplicity limits their usefulness to the most basic of functions. The interface is typical of a quickly developed spec. If you know your way around a computer, you'll be frustrated within minutes. There are no keyboard shortcuts and the concept of objects and properties is primative at best. For example, when you go to drag a tree onto a landscape, nothing tells you what kind of tree it is. When you roll the mouse pointer over the tree, the ballon help says "Drag" instead of something more helpful like the plant name. Talk about some lazy programming. Little issues like that are so plentiful that you'll be cursing the program in no time. I also made the mistake of purchasing one of their add-on "power tools" called site planner and boy was that a mistake. It crashed whenever I edited or inserted a line. I sent an email to tech support and they replied with a canned email response blaming the video driver. I quickly sent back a response with all the useless details they asked for and I never heard back from them again. Take it from me, they use the term "Power Tool" strictly as a marketing ploy. Their power tools are more like amateur freeware utilities.

COMPLEX SOFTWARE WITH NO TUTORIAL!, 2006-06-29
I am a CAD designer with 15 years experience on several platforms, 2d and 3d. I bought this package several months ago. I thought that with my experience I'd pick it up easily. After many hours I gave up on it. The manual is nothing more than a description on picks and clicks with lots of illustrations. As far as I can determine, no tutorial, either by Punch! or another third party exists and Punch! is unresonsive to my queries.
