"Just inexcusably terrible."
Some ambitious state attorney general should go after the purveyors of this completely unusable so-called software for defrauding the public. From the insanely Kafkaesque registration process to the discovery that features available in prior versions have actually been removed, my experience with this program has left me feeling like an unwitting participant in an especially tedious work of performance art.

"lame"
I got this program because on another site i was surveyed as the second best of all design programs of its size. This program pretty much sucks. I have version 6.0 and thought that was nice, although lacking in many aspects. In it you can view the frame work and print out a pseudo-blueprint. I have experience in framing and manually drawing framing plans so the frame generation on 6.0 was pretty close. Close enough to pass code. Also, 6.0 allows for FAST circular rooms. I build Southwest style homes and circular rooms are a must.

I got version 9.0 thinking it had value adding features. Realized after a few hours that they actually took away most of the features away. No circular rooms, no frame view, hell, no ceiling tool! I can't figure out how to put a ceiling in there!

On the bright side, it does allow to design some Santa Fe style houses...custom roof pitches, and vigas. nice....

This program is an overall dissapointment. Would have been nice if i could design some elements in 6.0 then import it into 9.0 for other elements then reimport it into 6.0 for the frame view...but it's basically a fresh, new program. Should be called 1.0. Seems like i'll have to pay $2500 for a home design program like Chief Architect or SoftPlan.

"There are better choices out there"
I was disappointed in how hard it was, working in 2D, to control the dimensions of rooms, and how little flexibility the program offered the user in changing the properties of individual walls without changing the characteristics of other walls. Perhaps there are ways of doing things buried in the software, but they were not apparent or intuitive if they are in fact there. This package appears to be a fairly limited version of more capable software by Punch, and I would not have bought it if there had been a free trial period.

"Agree with the rest, product stinks"
I have to agree with the other reviewers. I almost feel like my $40 was stolen from me. After really liking using previous versions this felt like some kind of trick. I expect version 10 to be an empty box.

"HORRIBLE!"
This program is horrible! Don't waste your money ... it would take to long to detail all the problems with it. This is one software that I wish was returnable ... The box and description are worth much more than the contents.

"Worthless Software", Years ago, I had Broderbund's 3DHA, version 3. It worked fine. Then Broderbund had the audacity to completely revamp the software, and when version 5 came out (under the same name), it became almost useless. Now, Punch is marketing 3D Home Architect, version 9. This one is also useless. The libraries are small; e.g., only four door styles to choose from. There is no way to "cut a section" and view an elevation. The "Help" line is unresponsive; e.g., my current question has gone unanswered for 10 days. I could go on with a litany of reasons why this software is worthless, but the publisher hasn't earned my time.

"Wish I hadn't....", purchased this. Wish I had read these reviews before purchasing it (I got it at a local office supply store). I have a really old (approx 1998) version of 3D Home Architect - it lacks a lot, but is easy to use. I was hoping for some improvements on this one. I've tried many others, including Punch! and haven't liked any of them. That should've been my first clue - it's now Punch! I purchased several programs on that trip and installed them & I can't even get this thing to install! I hope I can get a refund for defective materials, but I'm not holding my breath. Hope there's something better out there - any recommendations? Waste of $40.00......ugh!

"3D Architect", Product was as expected. Received on time and worked properly. My kids love it.

"A Major Let-Down", I bought this because of its compatibility with Mac OS - but I might as well have stuck with pen and paper. The software is poorly designed, not intuitive, has the worst selection of stock objects I've ever seen, and manages to take the fun out of home exterior/interior design! I wish I could get my money back.

"Pathetic", This is one of the worst programs I've ever used. Period. I am a programmer, and I am really annoyed by bad, poorly thought-out software. My first indication was when I went to register, and they required a company name for HOME Architect. This is just plain sloppiness, and it gave me a bad feeling. Second, when I started the software, it dumped me to a blank screen, ready to go. No tour, no starting point. I went to the help, and the help file was useless. I went to the site, and they said there was a PDF manual. The manual is abysmal. By page 17, it tells you how to view in 2D and 3D. What good is that, when pages 1-17 say nothing about how to start a drawing?!

Sample/demo files? I can't find any, and I'm pretty sure there are none. I saw on the Punch! website that the homes on their box covers were purchased from stock photography, not made with the software. This is utterly dishonest!

More idiocy: The scrollbars let you leave the drawing area completely. In software design, this is considered malpractice. I accidentally got off the drawing area, and in trying to find my way back, I got lost, and the window started to flash wildly. Could the program get any more awful?

Really, this software crosses the line from bad into the fraud territory.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"3D Home Architect Home & Landscape Deluxe Suite Version 9", Very disappointing. My 1993 Broderbund 3D Home Architect was more capabile than this program! The only reason I changed was because I upgraded to Windows Vista and it was not compatible with my old program.

"I am really disappointed with the software", I have purchased this software based on the Review "Home Design Software Reviews 2007" and this software is rated as second. I have been using "3D Home Architect Home Design 6" before which I find it by far much better then this. For me buying this software was really a waste of time and money:

- 3D rendering takes a lot of my machine resource and time; untill you get fustrated;
- 2 door styles only are provided;
- 2 types of 3D rendering only are provided. No option to add additional camera;
- you cannot edit any object in 3D view.
- objects have no or limited properties to play with...

After wasting this money I am now only looking to upgrade my old software with landscaping which I have been unable to get any upgrate...



"Bad, Very, Very Bad...", I liked Home Architect Version 8, but then I tried Version 9 because I thought it would be better. After 10 minutes of this program, I wanted to toss it out the door. See, this program isn't owned by the original company anymore, they're owned by Punch! Software.

- Any means to customize objects such as Counters or Appliances have been removed. You can Scale them, but you cannot increase or decrease the width.

- If you have knowledge with 3DS Max, you could create a 3D Object, but otherwise you need to use the Objects that Punch! provides. Sacrifices will be made because many vital 3D Objects won't be available.

Want to rotate your Object? No problem! Each time you want to do it, just click on Edit, click on Rotate, type in the Number of Degrees to Rotate, click on the "Degrees" button, then click Okay. In the previous version, each Object would have a Square and a Triangle. You'd just click on the Triangle on the Object, then Rotate. That's been removed.

The Generate Project has been removed. Want to know what you have used? What the project will cost? Too bad.

They removed the Design Wizard completely. The reason I liked 3D Home Architect was because it was different than AutoCAD or DeltaCAD. Those who weren't too knowledgable with those two programs could try 3D Home Architect because the Easy-to-Use Software was more driven towards people who just wanted to make up a quick Floor Plan.

It took me over an Hour just to build the Kitchen. The counters just would not align themselves properly. Objects seemed incomplete, or improperly designed.

Remember the Grid Lock, Object Lock, or Alignment Lock? They've been removed.

Getting a specific Camera View on your House no longer exists. You're just given a 3D Model of your home that you can walk around with the Mouse. You could do that in the previous version too, but they stripped out all the other Features in 3D Mode.

Sure, you can purchase this product, you could download it at their website but there's no Trial Software, No Refunds, No Exchanges... It says there's Refunds or Exchanges on the website, but they don't tell you which ones. EVEN with the Proof of Purchase, tough luck.

If the developers happen to read this, 3D Home Architect WAS a GREAT program. This is just incomplete. It's like you've released it way too early.

I have an idea... Go back to Schhol for Programming & Design because Version 9 is just a headache. It's incomplete, and much more inaccessible, difficult, and frustrating than Version 8. A Trial Version really needs to be offered, otherwise you're just conning people out of $40.00+ per product sold.

To everyone else, I've said my piece. You're welcome to purchase it, but I guarantee that once you've seen just how bad this program is, you'll want your money back.
