I only bought this because I want to put new siding on my house and this listed so many custom colors... on the outside of the box. However, it is false. It gives you a handful of siding colors and that is IT!!, Interior you can do multiple colors to your walls, exterior LIMITED, LIMITED, LIMITED. You can't even add a trim piece to the exterior. Would never use to actually plan and build a house - EVER. Not good for much except frustration.

I downloaded the demo version and played with it for a couple of days. It can be very frustating to use this tool in the beginning but once you get a hang of it, it is very nice. I designed a couple of different plans and was very excited to see the 3D view. This too, with the limited version that I had. Many of the features were not available since I was just trying a demo. I also downloaded the 3D home design and tried it for a couple of weeks. Although 3D Home design is easy to use, I like Punch.
I just bought the copy on ebay and now eagerly waiting it to arrive.

At first this program seemed like it'd work great, but the further I got into it, the more frustrated I got. Getting the perimeter walls to meet so it wouldn't put "grass" inside my house was a nightmare, and when I finally got that fixed, it wouldn't recognize inside walls from outside (so I had brick walls inside my house)! I'm sure someone more tech-saavy than me could figure it out, but I bought it because it said it was easy and quick to learn - it's not. I am returning mine and getting a simpler program - the extra features this one offers are NOT worth the frustration and hassle of dealing with it!

ok i totally want to be a home desinger/architect when i grow up. So i asked my brother for design stuff and he gave me this. I thought it was easy at first with the walls, windows and doors. But the flooring thing never works and staring at the 12 chapter "help" booklet doesnt "help" very much. they tell you what to do but not how. I'm sure this isnt a kids game but my dad is a genius and he tried it an he cant even figure it out. I wouldnt tell other people to buy it.

This is a click and drag program which can be manipulated fairly easily, but it is highly limited. The only good thing about this product is that it lets you input dimensions of your own yard, room, etc. However, it assumed all yards are grass, and all hills are round, all fences are wooden stakes.
It does let you change window and door dimensions, configurations, etc., as long as all you want is rectangular. (No oval windows, etc.)
As far as being able to design furniture, which is why we purchased it, it works if all you want to design is gigantic, blocky slabs with NO MEASUREMENTS. Nothing in here is as described on the package. The directions are too simplistic and much is left to learn the hard way. Even then, when you think you've accomplished some design on a floor plan, and turn it to 3-D mode, what you've really designed is a rakish spline hanging in the sky.
The floor plan item works all right, which is the only reason I grudgingly gave it one star. If all you need is a floor plan, however, there are cheaper ways to do it. I HIGHLY recommend a pencil and the back of a paper bag as superior to this program. Save your money. Or, heck, if you really want to try it, buy mine.
