Sorry, but I'm looking at it now, and still do not see shelving. Plus in the User's Guide, shelving is not listed in the Index. Across the top, I have Foundation, Floor, Electrical, Plumbing, Roof, HVAC, Deck, Landscape, Detail, and Framing. Am I missing something?

Are you talking about on this forum? I see a search here, but not in the User's Guide.

Punch, as any program, has a learning curve. The best way to learn the program, IMO, is practice + practice + practice => Read and follow the manual (this is important), see the videos => try to create elements not related with your project, so you will become familiar with the commands and how to develop the different components.
Not sure why you are mentioning "frustrating" => I answered all your questions, and the solutions were very easy!
I'd suggest that you read carefully my answers: in this case, I didn't mention the search in the forum => I wrote "libraries"=> The libraries are a very important part of the program!
Learning how to search in the libraries is a very important part of the Punch program use.
Just in case this is not clear, I am attaching an image showing how to use the search feature in the libraries. In your case, just write "shelf" in the search field and voilà!
Of course, if you don't want to search, you can build your own shelf using the 3D Custom Workshop Power Tool.

Hi there,

I understand that beginners need explanations, this is why I answer the questions, however, as I stated, it is important that you become familiar, with the basic commands, tabs and bars.
In the User manual, page 21, says => "To get the most benefit from Punch! Home Design Software, you should take a minute to become familiar with the layout of the Punch! drawing space, plan tabs, and toolbars."

The library tab is very important and it is one of the basic elements. For this reason, it is shown in the beginning of the user manual (page 21) => check the first image attached (a screenshot of the user guide page 21) so you can see the location of this basic tab.

Did you read the entire manual and my eBook? Odd that you didn't find all the tutorials and features.. ., especially the quick tour in page 21 ;-)
You wrote that cabinets is not listed is the index of the user guide => this is not correct => I am attaching a screenshot of the user guide's index showing the cabinet topics. Also, my eBook as well as the user guide, are PDF files. I am not sure if you know, but the PDF files include an amazing feature called "Search". The icon is a magnifier (outlined in blue in the second image attached) so in seconds, you can find the desired feature. In this case, you can write the word "cabinet" in the search field (pointed with a green arrow i the second image attached) and the program will direct you to all the topics, including the index entries (pointed with a red arrow in the second image attached).
By the way, in my eBook, you can search cabinets also in my eBook => they start at page 136.

Other users answer questions, but no so often as I do.
If you prefer other answers, feel free to contact tech support.

Hi there,

No problem.
As a matter of fact, you search the entire manual. If you start the search at page 1, the table of contents' entries will be the first.
