Home Design Studio - Design your next home at home!

This was the one program on the PC that kept me using VirtualPC (and now Parallels). I jumped onto this as soon as I learned it was out.

Still, there is only one Mac version, and some of the more upscale PC versions continue to offer more of the advanced features. The most glaring omission is the 3D workshop for creating your own objects. But you know what? It's WORTH IT to fire up Parallels now and then for the PC version as I can do the majority of my work in the Mac environment now.

Lest it need mentioning, the PC and Mac versions of files are interchangeable, and of course 3D objects from the PC can be imported with the Mac version.

(Well, I still need Time Synchronizer ported over).

Punch HDS vs "ViaCAD"?
Authored by: Steve Hoge on Feb 14, '07 09:31:27PM
Anybody understand the relationship of this Home Design Studio product to the new $99 product called ViaCAD that Punch! announced at MacWorld in January? Is one a subset of the other, or complementary?

I can't find any mention of ViaCAD on the Punch! website at www.punchsoftware.com. Wierd. Instead, see www.punchviacad.com for the press release on the ViaCAD product.
