Architect/Remodeling software

>>1115754
any cad software

but universally recommended for non professionals: google sketchup

AutoCADs good with exclusively 2D stuff.
There's an extension on google sketchup as >>1115765 mentioned for professional drawings that will need to be stamped later down the road. So I'd say that's a good start.

A shot in the dark but it's realistic enough. You could literally play The Sims and build a house in that and add or subtract things on it and build and decorate the rooms as well. I have blueprinted many types of stuff in that game, from gyms, to community pools, from schools, to jails and the most unique houses imaginable. Damn shame I lost those save files long ago.

Google sketch up is good too like others had mentioned. Also just Google architect software and see what comes up. Good luck.

>CAD with Sims
please tell me you are not qualified in whatever country you are from

>>1115837
I am not an architect or a builder. I do design work sure and the results are cool and can be cloned to real life if one could take the time to do so, but no I am not certified in anything nor do I make money off of the design work. It's just a hobby

>>1115838
please do not think for a second whatever you do in the sims can possibly have any bearing or relevance in any real projects, no offence, but the sims is the sims and nothing more

fuck dude, the man said he was using it as a visualiasation tool, not basing blueprints on it. Be a whole lot of people actually interested in an easy-to-use drag-n-drop 3d prog for this and a thousand other reasons, none of them are (eays to uise) though.

And in slightly related news; SKETCHUP HASNT BEEN OWNED BY GOOGLE FOR HALF A DECADE NOW - thank you for your attention.

Sorry I wasnt clear. If I could blueprint of it would be great. Or at least give me a really good idea as the house is 40 years old so being exact would be impossible.

Have you ever seen Fixer Upper on TV?
The wife uses Sketchup for the design stuff.

Its not 3d realistic but does the job as far as blueprints go.

>>1115754
Revit is what we use at or firm


But sketchup if you wannt free.

ArchiCAD, Revit, Allplan, AutoCAD etc. (any BIM software)

although I would recommend you hire a professional, since the software has a learning curve.

Is sketchup better than freecad?

>>1115754
Use revit or arhicad you get flor plan's plus 3d models from it

Revit or ArchiCAD are like trying to kill a gnat with a rocket launcher for what you want to do. AutoCAD LT will probably do exactly what you need. Again, like others have said, you may want to consult a professional since you are talking additions and blueprints.

>since the software has a learning curve.
And is also usually expensive as fuck.

>>1117326
which one of those you think is best(most intuitive?)?
Im using archicad and already did most of my house but is so fucking hard its unreasonable

>>1115754
Revit is a good option

I've used Fusion 360 for floor planning before but its better for 3D modeling smalls

i've been trying to casually work out a room remodel and sketchup is such a pain to use. it can't even show you the dimensions of a simple object, things keep merging, it has layers but they're mostly a joke...

How do you mean?

>>1121354

What? Do you know how to use components and groups?
