I have spent some time playing with Google SketchUp. I have been playing around with house designs with the distant hope of one day building my own. Two dimensional drawings are one thing but getting them into three dimensions is quite difficult with any level of accuracy, particularly with a pencil. I searched for some free software that would allow me to play around with designs and it was then that I found Google SketchUp.
The basic version is available as a free download with Google SketchUp Pro available for £341.00. Obviously, being a skin flint I didn't pay £341.00 and had a go with the free version. I struggled a little at first but the wealth of You Tube demonstrations helped significantly.

If you haven't already had a play with SketchUp then I would suggest doing so, I would be surprised if after one evening you weren't impressed.
