Video ToolTips
Now you can get an instant demonstration of how any tool works. Just click a tool, then read the tooltips or click video to watch and listen to a demonstration. Also access the videos from on-line help, read the text and watch the video for a demonstration of the tool's use. It's like having your own instructor.
Elevation Editor
Now you can edit in 3D. Modify your design from any elevation view, including front, back, side or custom elevation angle. Rotate, edit and/or add text and dimensions to your elevations. Look in to the house by hiding a wall in the 3D view and edit walls, furniture, show/hide landscaping, textures and lighting for a final view and print for presentation.
Convert-2-3D
And if Punch! Software isn't flexible enough already, now you can draw simple objects like lines, arcs and circles and convert them to Punch! Intelligent objects with just a mouse click. Convert a line to a wall. Draw a circle and convert it to a round hole in the floor. Even create a curved shape and convert it to a custom excavated swimming pool with just a click; the possibilities are endless. Wish you could create a 3D Punch drawing from a DXF file? Import the DXF file, and then use Convert-2-3D to make it 3D.
DXF File Import Made easy
The new DXF file import combined with "Convert-2-3D" makes using DXF files easier than ever. Start by importing an AutoCAD DXF file. Convert simple lines to interior/exterior walls, fencing, railings, landscape edging, and much more. Just click on a line/arc/circle/curve/etc. and choose what Punch object to change it to. Convert a simple curve to an excavated pool or pond, a free-form deck, landscape edging or topographical feature. The possibilities are endless. It all starts by using a DXF file to start rather than a blank piece of paper.
Layout Manager
Finally an easy tool to create the perfect presentation printouts of your design. Add multiple 2D/3D views of your plan to customise the page...any combination to fit your project needs. Print a page with front/side/top views, or maybe a page with all of the custom bathrooms in your plan. Show 2D information and rendered images on the same page, then output to your printer or plotter.

Enhanced Lighting Tools
Add illuminated lighting to your design and watch as the "glow" from each light source adds realism. Add individual light sources to fixture lights, recessed lights, floodlights--even outdoor lighting. Individually turn lights on/off and use the dimmer switch to control brightness.
Enhanced Estimating

PhotoView
Now you can add real-world photos to your virtual design with PhotoView™. This breakthrough technology lets you add digital images to your designs. You can import a photo of your own home, add landscaping or a deck, then view it from any angle -- with realistic, 3D perspective. Place a scanned photo of doors, windows, pets, even add your children to the backyard!
Master Landscape
When you're ready to landscape, just add your plantings to your existing file. Punch! lets you landscape without redrawing your house plan unlike some other home design software "suites". You'll see beautiful results rendered in realistic 3D! Create retaining walls and other topographic features. You can even design a custom sprinkler system for your property! New excavation and enhanced topography tools let you carve your property for custom slopes, walk-out basements, retaining walls and more.
HVAC, Electrical, Foundation and Plumbing Planners
These professional tools work in layers just like blueprints...only better. You can toggle between different mechanical plans to combine any or all...to easily detect conflicts or maximise the effectiveness of your mechanical design. "Smart" objects such as bath fixtures and electrical outlets automatically move with walls as you edit your floorplan, eliminating the need for repositioning should you change your design.
PlantFinder
Benefit from the power of a user-definable database that can actually find the perfect plantings for your planting zone, based on your search criteria. Over 2,000 selections of flowers, shrubs, trees, ornamental grasses, ground cover and more.

In addition, handy colour-coded zone maps for many areas of the world help you accurately determine your growing region to maximise your plants' success.
FloorPlan Trace
Simply scan your favourite home plan and it becomes a traceable template you can modify to create your own customised plan.
ClearView
Use ClearView to examine the topography of your property in a unique wireframe view, without your plantings. You can determine how to shape your ground with berms, swails, and more. Determine proper drainage, slope angles and examine exactly how your lot works with your home and landscape design. You can also view elevations of your home in monochrome or colour with a few simple mouse clicks.
3D Custom Workshop
Create objects from scratch or modify existing selections from our library. Change colours, fabrics, patterns, textures and more, then use your creations to furnish your home plan. You can achieve professional-looking results with this powerful 3D CAD studio.
Custom Sprinkler Systems
