Customer Reviews: Decent but not quite as advertized.May 1, 2006 Troy Howard(USA) 28 out of 30 found this review helpful
I first tried the punch platinum hiome design 8.0 and was able with great difficulty to draw a set of prints that we built a home from.
I then upgraded to Arch 3000 which is certainly a much better product. The interface is virtually the same but some of the additional tools make the program.
The best addition being the room wizard although it is fairly basic and not fully fleshed out, it does allow the first floor of a house plan to be drawn to basics VERY quickly much faster than a trace image. Warning though to people designing basements, make the basement FLOOR 1 and if you use the room wizard use it for the basement. I know the tutorial states you can easily just lower the elevation of the fountation walls to create your basement but as many people have commented with punch products what is stated is not always what happens and in this case your whole first floor including ANY connected interior walls are dropped into the basement.
You can work around this but only if you make floor 1 your basement.
Again a decent product but know what you are buying this program can produce buildable home plans IF you have engineering or construction knowlege but mostly its still a program for a home owner to "envision" the layout of their home.

I purchased this program hoping it would be easier to use than CAD. I really didn't find the interface any easier or more intuitive than CAD.
