Hi Scott,

I am not sure if you received my last e-mail. I opened your file, and the problem is the one I stated in my first e-mail.
There are lots of lines, points, etc in your drawing, so you must clean the drawing in order to import the drawing

Hope this helps

Hi Jim Watson

You can import the picture of your house using the Photoview tool, however, notice that you will get just an image and not the whole house

After you import the picture, you can try different options, as you can see in these images. I started with a picture inserted in the Punch work space and I added (drag and drop) the Punch objects / plants--> trellis, flowers, landscape elements, etc

In the image linked below, the house of the left is a picture. The addition on the right and the shutters are Punch's

Notice that the imported picture, is just a 2d board and you can't modify it after you imported it
To modify the picture (before you import it), you can use the Photo Editor Power Tool (if you've this tool) or you can use any other image program (Photoshop, PSP, etc)

Hope this helps

Hi there,

As you probably know, this Forum is user to user (I am a Punch user like you) so we don't deal with hardware, or Windows issues because we can't evaluate your computer conditions.

Please, contact the technical support so they can check the issues in your computer, installation, patches, etc as well as they will check your system, limitations, etc..
