PRO100 Function: design and 3D modeling of an apartment, furniture development The PRO100 program is a completely independent application - it does not require any other program other than the Windows system. Most design operations can be done quickly and easily using the mouse, just like playing with dice. An additional ease of work is a set of toolbars containing a number of editing tools suitable for the designer, such as, for example: moving, positioning, alignment, revolutions. Each element appearing on the project stage has its own properties window, where in a precise way we can give it certain features: name, dimensions, type of material, correlation with certain groups of reports, price, etc. Overall it is a powerful tool that assists the designer in his work. The ranked interior can be viewed in seven projections (also in perspective projection). The program allows you to automatically plot the dimensions of the designed interior in the corresponding project projections. The work is facilitated by five orders of light projection of the project: frame, sketch, colors, textures, as well as full, realistic visualization.PRO100 For each of the orders, you can also independently use graphic effects, such as translucency, outlining and shading. Any changes introduced are immediately taken into account in all modules of the program - from the comparison of elements through the price list to all visualization procedures, including realistic ones.PRO100 Arrangement of the room takes several minutes. At each working stage, we can modify the modules used in the project in any way, quickly add and remove holders, shelves, or entire furniture, and with one click of the mouse change the color of the whole or part of the project. Thanks to all these properties, the PRO100 program is an ideal tool for direct work with the client. PRO100 installPro100 rar + templates + tutorial Size: 389 MB. Download: PRO100 from Depositfiles

System requirements for Punch!
The requirements are quite simple:
A modern processor, starting from Pentium, any operating system, from 64 Mb of memory, a 16-bit monitor, a drive for installing the program (if you purchase it on special media), a mouse and keyboard for work.
Agree, even the weakest PC, the so-called Tetris in certain circles, meets these requirements, and therefore, if you have a desire to work with this software, then you should not worry about installation problems and malfunctions.
Complete Landscape Designer
Quite a pleasant program to use, even in Russian. Contains a database of plants and various buildings. True, the entire description is in English, but those who understand it will understand. A good search for plants and objects, with the ability to set various parameters. For example: search for light-loving shrubs, average soil moisture, neutral acidity, and with evergreen foliage.
Creating a plan begins with uploading your background i.e. that’s what the whole design is based on. First, you photograph the desired object, and then overlay objects (trees, flowers, etc.) on it and get the final version. Using this approach is justified only when it is necessary to show not the general view of the plan, but some part of it, for example, the entrance to a house with future design.
The program allows you to copy from it, this can be useful if you work in other graphic editors, for example PhotoShop. All objects can be copied there and continue to work. Of course, with such a small volume there is nothing to count on a good 3D view. Very similar to ArchiCAD - hand-drawn graphics.
If you don’t want to study anything serious, buy something, or you just want to plan your own garden, then this program will satisfy any needs.
Do you want to learn how to draw? Online drawing schools.
Advantages
Nice, colorful 2D view. It is optimal for people who are improving their country house, although it can be used as an alternative by landscape designers.
Flaws
This product is specialized in creating photos, and these are its advantages and disadvantages. It makes sense to use for a specific display of a specific object.

What is Punch!
If we talk about functionality in a more or less understandable language, then Punch! - a program for three-dimensional intuitive design and planning, decoration and arrangement, but not only in the landscape, but also in working with structures and premises. The program contains a significant number of simple and easy-to-use wizards and examples. In short, a real American approach - tasks are completed quickly, efficiently, efficiently.
In addition, the software contains a large number of templates and standard modules that can be edited.
In fact, the design software Punch! - simple software, once you understand how it works, you will forget about other programs, at least that’s what most users do.
Again about online application generators
In the previous article in this series, we discussed creating applications for the Android platform using Java and Android Development Tools (ADT). Today we will continue this topic by getting acquainted with a new product from Embarcadero - RAD Studio XE 5. Essentially, this product is a modern incarnation of Delphi, a Windows application development tool that has been incredibly popular in our country for many years, starting from the first 16 bit version, which appeared in the second half of the 1990s. But, unlike Delphi of the late 1990s and early 2000s, RAD Studio XE 5 is a tool that allows you to create applications not only for Windows, but also for Mac OS, Android, iOS, and, importantly, based on one and the same source code and resources - having created an application project, you can simply compile the executable code for any of the named platforms. Development of mobile applications is possible using the Architect, Ultimate, Enterprise editions, as well as the Professional edition, provided that the Mobile Add-On Pack extension module is purchased with it. The development environment itself is available only for the Windows platform. If desired, in RAD Studio XE 5 you can develop in C++Builder, as well as create HTML-5 applications.
This publication cannot be considered a traditional product review - like all articles in this series, it gives an idea of the tool by describing the process of creating a mobile application with minimal effort.
You can get started with RAD Studio XE 5 by downloading a 30-day trial from Embarcadero (available for various versions of Windows). The product installation process is carried out directly from the manufacturer’s website, so it is worth doing this by ensuring that you have a reliable and not too slow Internet connection.
After installing RAD Studio XE 5 itself, you should take care of installing support tools for the platforms for which you intend to create the application. So, to develop applications for the Android platform, we need the Android SDK, already familiar to us from the previous article, with support for selected versions of the platform - it can be installed by launching the Android Tools application included with RAD Studio XE 5 (Fig. 1).
Rice. 1. Selecting an application for modification
If the application is to be tested on a real device, its driver should be installed on the computer with the development environment (usually it can be found either on the device manufacturer’s website or on the Google website). On the device itself, you should enable remote debugging of applications in the settings.
To develop iOS applications, you will need a computer running Mac OS X to run the emulator. If you don’t have the latter, you can use Embarcadero’s MacinCloud cloud service, which also has a trial period of 24 hours. To test iOS applications on mobile devices and then upload them to the AppStore, you should also join the Apple iOS Developer Program or a similar program for universities or corporate clients.
The development environment itself looks quite traditional (Fig. 2) - a project manager (Project Manager, top right), a component palette with groups of interface elements and so-called non-visual components (Tool Palette, bottom right), a tree with the structure of form components (Structure, left top), Object Inspector (bottom left), form and code editor (center).
Rice. 2. Replacing the application logo
We will begin creating our very first application (as always, dedicated to introducing ComputerPress magazine) by using a ready-made template. To do this, in the main menu of the development environment, select the item File->New->FireMonkey Mobile Application and, among the proposed application templates, select the element Tabbed with Navigation (Fig. 3).
Rice. 3. Editing buttons
As a result, an application project will be generated, similar to the one the creation of which was described in the previous article of this series, and which is a notepad with four tabs, on each of which you can further place interface elements (Fig. 4).
Rice. 4. Setting the functionality of the buttons
By selecting a potential platform for running an application in the upper right corner of the form editor, you can see how it will look when executed on a particular platform.
Next, by selecting interface elements with the mouse (in our case, labels and tab titles), we can change the labels on them using the Text property in the object inspector.
For iOS applications, using the StyleLookup property, you can also select icons placed on notepad shortcuts (Fig. 5).
Fig.5. Widgets available for selection
The next step in creating our application is to add interface elements to the notepad tabs. To do this, click on the “About the Journal” tab, select the TMemo component in the Standard group on the component palette (Delphi users are familiar with it, but for beginners I’ll tell you that it’s just a multi-line text editor) and place it on the form. Let's find the Strings property in the object inspector, click on the button with the ellipsis and copy the brief information about our journal borrowed from our website www.compress.ru into the property editor that opens. From the list of possible values for the Align property of our Memo1 component, we select the value alClient - in this case, our text editor will occupy the entire area of the screen between the title and labels. And finally, we will set the Enabled property of this component to False so that the user of our application cannot edit the text (Fig. 6).
Rice. 6. Publish the application for testing
Let’s repeat all the same steps with the “Categories” tab, placing in the created Memo2 component the text borrowed from the same website about the magazine’s headings.
Next, let's give our application some variety - on the next two tabs we will place not a text editor, but a browser - the TWebBrowser component (it can be found in the Internet group of the component palette). Let's change the Align property of these components to the alClient value. Next, fill in their URL properties. For the component on the “Our Site” tab, enter https://www.compress.ru as the value of this property, and for the TWebBrowser component on the “Coordinates” tab, enter a link to the Yandex.Maps server, which will indicate the search result for the building editorial office on the map of Moscow. Then save the project.
So far, our application has certain disadvantages: for example, it does not have the ability to return to the previous page in browsers on the third and fourth tabs. Let's correct this shortcoming. To do this, at the top of one of the browser tabs, we will place two TSpeedButton buttons, linking one of them to the upper left and the other to the upper right corner by selecting the options akTop, akLeft, akRight of the Anchors property of each button and adding arrow images to them using the already familiar StyleLookup property (Fig. 7).
Rice. 7. Finished application - iPhone 5 screenshots
Let's double-click on each of the buttons, after which empty event handlers associated with clicking on them will be generated. Let's add one line of code to them (highlighted in bold):
procedure TTabbedwithNavigationForm.SpeedButton1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
WebBrowser1.GoForward;
end;
procedure TTabbedwithNavigationForm.SpeedButton2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
WebBrowser1.GoBack;
end;
These two lines of code mean that when you click on one of the buttons, you move to the previous page that opened in the browser, and when you click on the second button, you move to the next one.
And finally, select both buttons, copy them to the clipboard, go to the tab with the second browser and remove them from the clipboard. If you do this carefully, the buttons will be copied along with their properties and event handlers. Let's save the project.
Actually, this will complete the creation of the application. Now it can be compiled and tested. Let's start by compiling the application for the iOS platform. First, you need to connect to a computer with Mac OS X, located on the same network as the Windows computer on which development is carried out, or to the MacinCloud service. In the first case, you also need to install the Platform Assistant console application on a computer running Mac OS X and launch it, and then enter a password to access it in the RAD Studio XE 5 development environment. Then you should describe the connection to this computer by selecting the option in the main menu of the development environment Tools->Options. The Connection Profile Manager section of the Options dialog panel contains a list of connection profiles to which you can add a new profile by specifying the computer name and password to access the running instance of the Platform Assistant application (Figure 8).
Rice. 8. E-book created using the appropriate template
You can test the connection using the Test Connection button. If problems arise, it is worth checking whether the computer running the Platform Assistant application is accessible on the network and whether the port through which the connection between computers is made is open.
After successfully connecting to the Platform Assistant application, in the project manager, select the appropriate platform and the configured connection profile with a computer running Mac OS (Fig. 9).
Rice. 9. Create an iPad application
Select the main menu option Run->Run or press the F9 key. We wait for a while and an iPhone emulator with our application will appear on the screen of a computer running Mac OS X.
Now let's try to compile the same application to run on the Android platform. Let's connect the device used for testing, select the device and platform in the Target Platforms section of the project manager and run the application again using the F9 key.
After a relatively short period of time, our application will launch on the connected device.
So, we have created a cross-platform application that can run on both iOS and Android. At the same time, we did not need to use any special execution environments or code generation with subsequent compilation in development environments like Xcode or Eclipse + ADT - RAD Studio XE 5 creates so-called native applications. This means that the performance of such applications should be comparable to the performance of applications created, for example, using Xcode or ADT.
Miracles, of course, do not happen - the size of executable files created using RAD Studio XE 5 will probably be larger than when using Xcode or ADT. But space on mobile devices, you see, is not the most expensive resource today - investments in the knowledge and skills of mobile application developers will cost much more. And here RAD Studio XE 5 is still out of competition - supporting two of the most popular mobile platforms at once means that there is no need to have separate development teams for iOS and Android. It is also important that companies that decide to implement RAD Studio XE 5 have access to a huge number of Delphi and C++Builder experts of all ages and with a wide variety of experience on the Russian labor market - after all, this tool is, after all, almost 20 years old.
In conclusion, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the Embarcadero website has a huge amount of educational materials on developing mobile applications using RAD Studio XE 5, and this collection of materials is constantly growing. Therefore, mastering this tool will not be too difficult even for beginners.
The previous two articles in this series were devoted to a brief introduction to professional application development tools using the Android Development Toolkit and a new product from Embarcadero - RAD Studio XE 5. We conclude the topic of professional tools for creating mobile applications, and today we will return to online application generation services , the use of which, as we already know, in some cases can be more effective than independent development using professional tools.
The service that today's article is devoted to is called iBuildApp and is an online application builder for smartphones that does not require any programming skills from the user. It belongs to the American company of the same name with a Russian representative office in Vladimir.
You can create applications using the iBuildApp service for free, and you can (but not necessarily) publish them in online application stores on your own. At the same time, the owners of the service provide users with a number of paid services, such as publishing applications in online stores for those who are not ready to publish on their own, assistance in monetizing applications (that is, making a profit by placing advertising in them), sending push and GPS messages -notifications to application users, 24/7 email support. Payment for services is possible on a monthly basis in accordance with various tariff plans, differing in the number of application downloads and the availability of the services listed above. Moreover, all tariff plans, including the free one, include access to ready-made application templates (including free and paid ones) and built-in components (widgets), technical support, the ability to see application performance statistics and downloads.
Special mention should be made of application templates and ready-made widgets - this service has a lot of them. Templates are available for different types of companies, types of activities, application categories, and you can change design options for a ready-made template and add widgets to it. If you wish, you can create your own templates and widgets and place them in the iBuildApp tools catalog, or order the development of a widget or even an entire application from the owners of this service.
Let's take a look at what you can create with the free plan. Let's start with the ComputerPress application, traditional for our cycle, with information about our magazine. To do this, you need to choose either a template or an almost finished application that can be modified.
From the ready-made applications, we will choose “Small Business” - the editorial offices of magazines for the most part belong to this category of companies (Fig. 1).
After making the selection, we will find ourselves in the application editor, in which, by opening the elements of the list of possible actions sequentially or in random order, we can customize its appearance or functionality, for example, replace the background or logo (Fig. 2).
I would like to draw attention to the support for the Russian application interface and the presence of a Russian interface in the online application editor - now not all such services have even the first of these features.
Next, you can make changes to the number and appearance of buttons, and you can choose your own graphic images for them (Fig. 3).
The button functionality available by default can also be replaced with the desired one. In particular, it is possible to select the necessary widgets from a fairly extensive list and configure their parameters, for example, entering text and pictures in the case of a widget displaying a static HTML document (Fig. 4).
Among the widgets available today are widgets for displaying RSS feeds, HTML documents, interfaces with Twitter and Facebook, video lists from YouTube and Vimeo, interfaces with the phone, email client, Google Map mapping services, contact management tool, calculator, camera, photo gallery, an electronic book, a QR code scanner, free-form input with user-selectable interface elements and many others (Fig. 5).
Users also have the ability to create their own widgets and templates to use in their applications.
Once you have finished building the functionality, you can make the application available for download in accordance with your tariff plan. The free plan offers two ways to publish an app: creating a package for download on an Android device (which means we don't have to publish the app to the Google Play store) and creating an HTML5 app (which means we can test it on a device running iOS, without publishing the application in the AppStore and without purchasing an iOS developer license - Fig. 6).
In Fig. 7 shows screenshots of an iPhone 5 running a ready-made application downloaded from the link above.
Because we're using the free plan, the app includes an iBuildApp splash screen ad that appears when the app loads, an ad line on the title page, and banner ads that appear at the top of other pages when you open them (they can, however, be closed).
“Small Business” is not the only type of application available to users of the iBuildApp service. The range of potential consumers of ready-made applications and templates for this service is very diverse - from cafes and restaurants to religious organizations. For example, an e-book created from the appropriate template looks very good (Fig. 8).
In addition to applications for smartphones, the iBuildApp service also allows you to create applications for iPad. The choice of templates for this type of application is still small, and the finished application can only be tested in a browser (Fig. 9).
In addition to creating applications, the user of the service can create their own application templates (for this there is an online template editor that supports drag-and-drop operations) and sell them, as well as create their own widgets using XCode or Android SDK. But if you don’t want to deal with the issues of form design, purchasing a developer license and using development tools, you can get by with ready-made templates and widgets.
This concludes our acquaintance with the iBuildApp service for quickly generating mobile applications. It differs from similar services in the large number of templates and ready-made applications available for use, full support for the Russian language, not only in the applications created, but also in the online application editor, a very flexible pricing policy and a wide range of features available for free or for a nominal fee. Potential consumers of such a service can be companies and organizations of various profiles: cafes, restaurants, medical institutions, fitness clubs, retail enterprises, electronic stores, educational institutions, publishing houses, online stores, clubs. If such a consumer has a need for a Russian-language mobile application with more or less standard functionality, he should pay attention to this service - its use is highly likely to be much more effective than implementing or ordering individual development.

Benefits of Punch!
Like any other design, layout and planning software, Punch! has many features that set it apart from the rest of the software on the market:
- Incredibly convenient tools and working with them;
- A huge database of elements and auxiliary components for work;
- The most reliable images of everything you do, work on mistakes by simply switching between 2D and 3D;
- Checking the compatibility of materials, shapes, elements, accessories, decor, architecture;
- Drawing up summary tables, estimates, arrangement of sizes and scales, simple calculations;
- Bringing into the real world everything that was done electronically.
In general, all the advantages of the landscape design program Punch! will be visible to you as you work, but for now we want to express our own opinion about the program, and not speak on behalf of the manufacturer and other users.
Convenient : excellent visualization of projects in 3D, a huge number of settings and texture components that help saturate the project. Convenient rubricator, extensive library with descriptions. The program has Help, which will help you cope with the software in the first stages.
Not convenient : depending on the version, the software only works with its own files
Punch Professional Home Design Platinum free download in Russian
Hi all! The “Punch Home Design” utility is a tool that is called “for all occasions.” Here you can design a residential building of any complexity using a huge number of functions and parameters that can be adjusted.
This program will allow you to design every detail of the house - its sketch (even with structures), any engineering fixtures, small design decisions in terms of the interior and, as a kind of cherry on the cake, the ability to edit everything that will be outside - the landscape, even a garden or a small park .
You can successfully complete a project in this utility if you have already had experience interacting with similar software, and you also at least understand the English language a little, since, unfortunately, the application does not have a Russified version. Although the so-called “canvas” on which you will design your project is a little “rough” and outdated in terms of design, this does not change the fact that in this program everything is quite logically verified and here you can work out your project, including even the smallest details. So, let's take a closer look at all the functionality of this utility.
Ready-made templates
The developers have added a number of ready-made projects to the “Punch Home Design” utility, which you can take as a basis for your future home, or simply get acquainted with them. These projects contain not only the “box” of the future house itself, but also a landscape design, rooms, and even some examples of a garden and park complex, which you can, if desired, change using the tools built into the utility. Although the development of all these projects cannot be called a “reference”, but if you just want to get acquainted with what the program is capable of, then this will be more than enough.
Create a new project
Since the Punch Home Design utility does not have a built-in design function, you will have to edit the parameters of the future home yourself. There are no distinctive features here, and if you have previously worked with similar programs, then you will not encounter any difficulties.
In the “framework” of the project, you will need to draw the walls, windows, doors, stairs that will be inside the house, and the like. All objects that you specify when drawing will be linked to the current floor, the height of which can also be edited.
Our Garden 3D Pro
A very successful software product from Russian developers. The best 2D planning, excellent graphics, quick creation of projects linked to plants, easy to learn. Many different facilities, from gazebos to tennis courts. No compatibility, i.e. There is no import/export of third-party objects, but this is not so necessary, because there are enough of them.
There is indeed some curvature of the product. For example, to create an irregularly shaped pond, you have to stack several ovals and squares on top of each other. It’s much easier in PhotoShop or similar tools; build an irregularly shaped polygon and fill it with the required color. Although if you get used to it, it doesn’t cause any difficulties.
Huge database of plants. More than 5000 species, with the ability to select and filter by criteria, as well as add and edit.
Get a sought-after design profession
Advantages
The best 2-dimensional view, a huge database of plants, with the ability to add and edit.
Flaws
Weak 3D graphics, no import/export. The program is designed for high-quality planning and display in 2-dimensional form. For the designer himself to understand where everything grows. There is no need to leaf through tons of books, remembering what needs to be planted in moist soil in the shade. It is enough to make a selection from the database, with certain criteria, and that’s it.
