Punch!® Software, a leading developer of Home Design and CAD software for over 25 years, today announced the release of the all-new Windows versions of its award-winning Punch!® Home & Landscape Design software titles. Now available on punchsoftware.com, Punch!® 26 Home & Landscape Design introduces AI‑powered, prompt‑driven visualization, a refreshed workspace, stronger SketchUp import, and workflow refinements that help designers move from idea to image with fewer pauses.

Punch!® 26 Home & Landscape Design debuts a suite of enhanced and newly introduced features, including:

Home Design Copilot: A new AI‑assisted workspace for visualization, image creation, material exploration, plant generation, and design guidance. Users can start from a 2D plan, 3D view, rendering, source image, or plain-language prompt, then guide results with reference images, material direction, lighting notes, style cues, and location ideas.
AI-Powered Rendering and Design Exploration: Turns design views into polished presentation images while preserving the structure of the model. Explore lighting, materials, and moods without rebuilding the scene.
Custom Asset Generation: Create textures, plants, and supporting design elements on demand. Save results or add them directly to the User Library for future projects.
Modernized Interface: Updated startup and welcome screens, a redesigned menu bar and quick access toolbar, compact and large palette options, improved dark mode, and system theme detection — all designed to create a workspace that feels cleaner from the moment it opens.
Improved SketchUp Import: Better texture handling for LuxCore, clearer scale and naming controls, visible import progress, organized User Library folders, active‑subplan assignment, and new split‑import options that convert top‑level groups into separate, editable objects.
