What set design programs are out there for use? I have been using PunchPro Home Design Suite 4.X and I am considering upgrading and looking for a better product.

Thanks,

Vectorworks is considered the primary software for theatre design, since they have modules specified for lighitng and set design.

But Sketchup is very easy to use, and has the advantage of having a free version, and a large online free model library.

It depends on what level of design you want to do, and what your needs are.
