Im in the progress of planning a complete home improvement, where all the interiors is pulled down, floors torn up, and only the shell is intact, before rebuilding everything.

But in the designing process i miss the ease of a drawing tool as autocad that we used in school as an mason apprentice.

So home improvement people, what is a good alternative to autocad, for detailed blueprints and measurements?

    I have tried to use the open source CAD programs, but they never worked that well for me.

    SketchUp is good, for what it is, but again it’s never been for me.

    If you want 2D like AutoCAD then I have found SolidEdge from Siemens to be good. There is a free version, and I think a paid one too. I only used the 2D version but a quick search just now seems to show a community edition of the 3D too.
