Home Design Software?

[Jason Eyerly]

When planning a flip or large interior redesign does anybody use software like they show on those flipping shows? I've been looking at a software called Chief Architect (because of how simple, advanced, or extensive, and in-depth it can be depending on how deep into it you want to go and what your plans are), as well as AutoDesk homestyler. Autodesk's program is neat because you can purchase directly through the software anything you use to create the design, and it's free. I think with these two software applications you can rehab, redesign, and re-imagine anything you could think of.

Does anybody have input on either of these two applications or perhaps better software/methods?
