Home Design and or Architectural software that allows you to create
house plans. I ahev heard of Home Design Deluxe and will look at this
but ws wondering what others may be using.

Thanks!

I've heard good things about Turbocad products: www.turbocad.com

Yes, Turbocad is great, but ... besides the expense, beware the steep
learning curve; it's not for the newbie or occasional user.

Generic Cadd, if one can still find it, works well; less learning curve;
free.  Versionj 6 was the last version.

I mentioned that concept to my son. He said it makes no sense. He's right.

IMSI's Floorplan 3D is basically an optimized subset of TurboCAD and is
much easier to learn and use, it's also cheap, like $50 or so. It will
do very nice photo realistic renders with lighting sun position based on
location, date and time which is handy as well. What it won't do is full
detail blueprints, but you typically don't need that level of detail for
an addition.
