3D Home Architect

3D Home Architect is a property designing program. Harneet's guide to 3D Home Architect comes in three designs for specific purposes: Home and Landscape Design Suite, Home Design Deluxe, and Landscape Design Deluxe. Home Design Deluxe simulates home designs, Landscape Design Deluxe simulates landscape designs, and Home and Landscape Design Suite is used for both.
History
3D Home Architect was introduced by software publisher, Brøderbund, in 1993. The publisher partnered with Advanced Relational Technology, a developer of professional residential 3D design software, to create a home design application for the DIY home enthusiast market. The product was a scaled down version of Chief Architect’s professional software.
Following its relationship with Advanced Relational Technology (now known as Chief Architect software), Broderbund partnered with Cadsoft Envisioneer to continue the production of 3D Home Architect. Cadsoft Envisioneer is a developer of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software. Version 5.0 of 3D Home Architect was published with Cadsoft technology, making it incompatible with versions 4.0 and below, owing to the change in technology developers.
Eventually, a DIY home design software company named Punch! purchased 3D Home Architect and the technology. Punch! continued to publish 3D Home Architect for a brief time, but discontinued the product in favor of its own brand around the year 2008.
In May 2010, software publisher Encore, Inc. (a subsidiary of Navarre Corporation) purchased Punch! and 3D Home Architect with it. Encore.com now controls the entire Broderbund family of products including PunchSoftware.com, PunchCAD.com, and Encore.com.
