Punch! Home Design Software’s ProjecTape helps you position plants, furniture, retaining walls, and more, exactly where you need them.
The ProjecTape tool displays the dimensions from its center point to each of the four nearest objects or surfaces, allowing you to measure from multiple surfaces at once, and give you the exact position you are looking for.

Once you add it on the plan, you can reposition it manually by dragging it.
