Mac users any one out there using either:
Punch! Home & Landscape Design Studio for Mac (http://www.punchsoftware.com/nexgen_studio.html)
or
Punch! Home Design Studioâ„¢ Pro
(http://www.punchsoftware.com/products/mac_pro.html)
Just want to know your thoughts, yes they are not 2000.00 CAD programs
As a owner of a windows version I can buy Home & Landscape Design Studio for Mac at 99.00 instead of 149.00 and Home Design Studioâ„¢ Pro for 69.00 verses 249.00.
Anyone using either, let me know what you think The Home & Landscape Design Studio for Mac is new so might be no one has tried it yet.

I'm pretty sure the old (mid 90's) PC version of Punch was a Chief product just like 3d Home Designer.
i use "punch home design" on my Mac Pro laptop, the software is reasonable but limited, but the product is not expensive, so i guess you get what you pay for.
i am no cad expert but a engineer buddy of mine is not over impressed, i mainly use it for simple layout designs which do not warrant the use of a architect or a engineer.
I've got two and a half years into the PC
version.
Very unstable to say the least!
I've found it easy to learn however.
It's for very general ideas and broad sketching of
a concept.After that the "PowerTools" included in the
box seriously inhibit accurate drawing of a house.
And for some strange reason every roof it generates is a hip...
Sketchup is free. I've got Vectorworks, but use I use sketchup for most everything... then VW for permitted drawings. I have Claris CAD if you can use the mac classic environment<G>http://www.tvwsolar.com
