Amazon.com Review:
Home renovation software takes a big leap forward with 5 in 1 Home Design from Punch!, a package that lets you draw an imagined future home or work on altering the one you have--without investing in building materials or architects up front! Divided into a series of specialized applications, this program makes it simple to hone room layouts, design decks, fine-tune furnishing designs, and landscape any size or shape of building lot. And when the individual pieces are polished, 5 in 1 Home Design pulls everything together into the big picture of your dreams.

Unlike many comparable packages, this package provides a fast and streamlined process for drawing floor plans from scratch. Moving wall by wall rather than room by room, a user can lay out everything in detail. Whether you are reconstructing an existing house or dreaming big, the program's learning process is swift. It is still possible to end up struggling to convince the package that an interior room is indeed inside the house (and thus deserving of carpet rather than lawn), but these glitches are rare and relatively easy to amend. Anyone interested in having a basic plan done both painlessly and fast will love the interface this program offers.

Other tools in 5 in 1 Home Design allow you to walk through the three-dimensional model of your house, print out pieces of a model so you can build it yourself, and fit the home inside and out with furnishings and finishes. You can switch to these tools without ever shutting off the core floor plan, moving to an overhead view of the house and back, then breezing into a furniture-building application. To minimize headaches, all the data on each house is kept in a single file.

In short, Punch! 5 in 1 Home Design will help you put together homes just as you imagine them. The power so handily available in this design program makes it an obvious first choice for those new to home design software and a real boon for anyone looking to brainstorm ideas for constructing, decorating, or renovating a house. --Alyx Dellamonica

- Could it be any worse?
I have experience with CAD drawing and other engineering drawing programs. While they all require a learning period before they are easy to use, this program never achieves that status. It is as if they took a bunch of different modules, each with different commands and vocabulary and slapped them together in a package.

Examples: The "Landscape" editor insists on slapping the landscape clean through buildings with basements. Roof pitch is a compound series of menus hidden in different ... Read More

- Worthless
This is total garbage. The object library is pathetic! No base corner cabinet? No problem, draw your own. Do not buy this. I can't overemphasize how bad this sucks.

- My first CAD experience
My "significant other" gave my this program as a Christmas present 5 years ago because I was ALWAYS sketching out my "dream house" plans on graph paper...best Christmas gift I ever got!!!

I'm not an architect and, being on the south side of 50, was not particularly computer literate (had never even played computer games and, at the time, was even still a bit leery of using email!) It took me awhile - maybe 10 or 20 hours of experimenting with the program - to get the hang of using all ... Read More

- Punch, Indeed!
This product ensures that I will not purchase any other Punch product. Can't even remove partial walls, a basic requirement to drawing anything but a square or rectangular outside wall. Didn't even get as far as the home interior, due to problems with the exterior. Thought having home design and landscape together would be a great idea. I thought wrong. My old Sierra Custom Home worked far better, "help" was more helpful, and I will look for similar again.

- 5in1=waste of money
This product does not only fail to meet the minimum expectations, it is deceptive in its advertising. For example, the programs of this type I've owned in the past all had a photo import feature so you didn't have to spend hours drawing something you could have a digital picture of. Secondly, the landscape section is extremely limited. I would never recommend this product.
