Hi everybody.
I'm wondering if anybody knows where I can either buy, or down load a program to build log homes, I have Puncji Super home Suit that let's you build a regular house, I've already put my floor plan together, now I'd like to see what it would look like built. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank's
Clyde

Punch Design AS3000

I'm using Punch Design AS3000. It doesn't exactly have a log home design mode, really. But it does have vertical and horizontal log objects. You can then set the properties (length, height, depth) to whatever you want. It also has a log-looking "material" that you can drag and drop on your walls. The results look something like this:

Log program

We are currently and simultaneously building a physical model, finalizing our floorplan on Punch Pro, and building a 3D model on Google Sketchup. We like the Sketchup program because, although I am making and placing each log individually, I am able to work through placement problems much easier on the virtual model than the physical model.
