Can anyone recommend some good free software to do floor drawings of a proposed building - just the basic floor plan is all I need.
I have tried "Sweet Home 3 D" from Sourceforge but it seems limited on the basic drawing ability.
For example I cannot draw a room be specifying size - I have to actually draw it on the grid and specify co-ordinates of end points.
Many thanks.
Les Desser coughed up some electrons that declared:
Cycas3D
For non-free (I know, but anyway...), I've just bought TurboFloorPlan Home and Landscape Pro

Google Sketchup.
Agreed, and plenty of tutorials and info available online

Seems like the vote goes for that - thanks to all.
I will also give Cycas3D a look - thanks Tim.
Can anyone tell me what I need to run Google's Ketchup under Linux? Wine, or do I need to run it in a windoze VM under VMware?
Under Linux I QCAD. It's a full 2D CAD program though, and needs a fair investment of time to learn it.
R.
Brilliant piece of software though. It makes a pleasant change for me as I use Autocad LT at work. :-) I'm very tempted to pay the guy for the pro version - especially to get polylines.
Ask him for the source, it looks like its done using GPL libs so he should give them to you if you ask.
