Yes, this software is very comprehensive for the dabler in home design. And if you are happy to work with canned architechture software you should do fine. However, if you are like me and you find yourself chaining your mind and needing to tweak your designs, this software is NOT for you. I found the walls and many othe features with tracking dimenions overly sensitive or not sensitive enought. Some features allow tweaking, but not the one's I was trying to work on. The free design on and then tranfer shapes just had too many bugs. I found myself looking at $500 or $1,000.00 sotware just to avoid the headaches uisng this software. I tried and tried and tried to contact Punch technical support but found it esier to heard cats tehn to find contanct email or phn numbers and get someone to return inquiries. All the bugs make me believe I purchased a beta version but it is a shame I cannot get upgrade. So, until I do, this review will remain.

I find this product useful for those small to medium projects where you want to get a sense of what the finished look will be without resorting to crude drawing tools.
It lets you lay out a space and add common architectural elements, such as doors, windows, flooring and other surfaces. The finished diagrams can then be viewed from a variety of vantage points, giving you a sense of what the final product will be like.
I happen to own a tablet PC, and to my surprise, the software worked great when using the pen. Over time, I've actually found this to be the most straightforward way to work with the software, although it's not that difficult to work with the mouse either.
Unfortunately, at least for me, I find it difficult to model complicated areas such as curving walls, raised floors, and so on. Still, for the price, the capabilities are good, and you don't have to be a drafting expert to get reasonable results.
Recommended.
