Customer Reviews:

Not Windows Vista Compatible [Posted on 2007-07-30]
I love this product. I am living in a house I designed with it. I also use it to plot survey coordinates at work. So why one star? My XP computer died and the program will not load on Vista. I think it is because of the program load being based on Adobe Acrobat 5, which Vista cannot recognize. I would need a patch to install before I load it. Punch site says it's Vista compatible. Not.

Parts are too complex, others are too limited [Posted on 2007-12-29]
After using this product for basic stuff [floor plans], I found that the 3D functionality to be far too complex and not really accurate. To create roof, ceiling and floors to create a realistic version of your floor plan, the process seemed too cumbersome and the elevations never quite seemed to be right. The pictures they show you are obviously done by the "professionals" on this software and mine never turn out quite realistic.

I also have found that the gallery of objext to be very limited and a little confusing. Why there are twenty different towel bars and candles I do not know. Plus, there aren't many 2D images to place in floor plans.

If you are a hobbyist, this program might suit your needs, but if you are using this for a function, don't bother.

Self-empowerment through the use of Punch Home Design Architecuture [Posted on 2008-04-20]
Though I am a couple years away from the actual building of our home this product gives me a place to play with my design in such a way that moves me towards fulfilling my dreams. I'm happy to report that though I am not computer literate in many ways I can use this product with ease. I'm grateful for the opportunity to fine tune my design before its on the land.

Defective product. No any responce from Punchsoftware. [Posted on 2008-09-19]
I received defective CD disk. The second and third disks failed to load to my computer. I tried on another 2 computers, and the same thing happened. I contacted Punch Technical staff but did not get any response.
I don't recommend this product because no any support will be provided.
