I'm looking for the best, but easy to use graphics program to create 3D visual kichtens. I need to renovate my house and i'm not sure what program to use.
I saw a program called 20-20 Design (at home depot) but it's only for the PC

Neither of these compare to 20-20 design. Something else must exist!

It seems to me that people designing kitchens have a lot of the technical side of the project to think about. Pretty much anything you find on the Mac will give you tons of creative control, minus the specificity of the kitchen. (does that make any sense?)
Have you tried googling it? You also might want to search here:

As a 3D animator I know of a lot of 3D modeling/animation programs, but none will have the cost planning etc features that 20-20 has.
Looking at the features of the programs mentioned here the Alibre program looks actually very impressive... budster's second link looks iffy I think though.
It seems to me that what you're really looking for is somehting that can do CAD as well as give you cost planning/management etc features.

20-20 has vendor specific libraries and is a kitchen cabinet design program. While cabinets may look similar, the amount of detail and unit trim/feature info for each unit is extensive. Cabinet vendors update the data files regularly and 20-20 updates its modules on a regular basis. Made for a commercial sales environment. As others have mentioned a 3D cad program can do a good job of creating layouts. You can build the needed pieces as components and re- use.
