Help with Punch Landscaping

[jwingfield2k]

I've got punch home design. is it poissible to load in a jpeg of a customers house so I can place the plants and such against it to see how it will look.

Hi Jwingfield2k,

Here (http://forums.punchsoftware.com/)is their support forum.

When you get it working, post your pic so we can see! :)

Thanks Team Gopher! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all of your helpful posts! You are a real addition to this site. One of my customers just called Sunday night wanting tons of work done. Well when I say tons, I mean 3-4k (alot for a homeowner around here I guess). So it's off to the drawing board.

visited their support forum, but it sucks. i'll just wait for someone to help me here.

It can be done.....but, It really looks cheezy. It turns out looking like a picture of a house standing in a field with some landscaping in front of it. It is not 3D. I designed my home landscaping with Punch but the one with the pic of my house was nowhere worth the trouble it took to make it. The pic has to be trimmed to just the house with now sky or background around it. Basically a large pain in the butt.:dizzy:

I have that same program and wasted a lot of time trying to figure it out and make it do the things I wanted it to do. I finally accepted the fact that I wasted my money as it sits a little closer to the trash can each time I re-organize my desk. I thought it was just me.....nice to know otherwise!

[o-so-n-so]

I echo what Mr. Lucky and Razorblade said.....junk.

There's a number on the box to send this piece of crap back to for your money back. Thats what I did! Resign to the fact that ierra is better and if you want to do more than that open up the checkbook.

I have it to but havent had the time to read the book.Hasn't this been talked about a couple of months ago and I believe there are people using this software with success,am I not correct? If it is junk,what is a good program thats easy to use?

throw your punch software in the garbage and get ProLandscape9.0. Its worth every penny.

Lol, ok you have my attention,can you give details,such as price, is it time consuming and/or difficult to learn? If you have never done this,do you need a class to learn how to? Thanks for any response.

I paid about $1200.00 dollars for the program. It comes with a book that it about 300 pages thick. I went to college and studied this stuff so its hard for me to tell you if you need to take a class. If you know anything about cad design you will be ok, otherwise the picture edit program is a drag and drop procedure. You will get every contract with this program. Where in Morris County are you? Im in Lincoln Park.

Good luck

So,I guess it can show different elevations such as raised beds,right? I will look into it,thanks.

"You will get every contract with this program"

Thats what I want to hear.My wife is taking some landscape courses this spring for software application and design.We hope to learn this so she can go to a clients house to do a presentation on the laptop.

I am outside of Morristown.

I had an e-mail that the Prolandscape 9.0 edition was on sale for $1095 until December 15. Maybe you could try to get a refund for a few hundred $$$.

I am real close to buying this program as soon as Santa gets me a new computer. (This windows 95 is a dinosaur)!

First I want to check out Gardenware at the C.E.N.T.S. show in Columbus. However this is over $2,000. Ouch!

I would like to know more about the Prolandscape if you could PM me please.
Thanks.
