Can anyone recommend a really simple (and hopefully low cost / free for personal use) CAD package?
I'm looking to do some simple house plans and designs for myself to put thoughts / sizes on paper for a new house to then take to a architect / tech planner for the professional touch. I have never used a CAD package so something simple is needed As an afterthought my laptop is a touchscreen if that makes any difference Cheers Keith |

Sketchup would be my suggestion. Free and very easy to use. North Cumbria Search and Rescue - Team Leader

Probably want to start with Sketchup as its free. We use FastCAD which is easy to use but you have to purchase. James

Again a suggestion for sketchup. It is free and easy. I use for woodworking projects but there is not a limitation for you.

Thanks guys!
In my shame I thought it was such a random requirement I never did a search first - should have known someone else would have had the need for info before me ![]() Once again the forum shows the depth of knowledge and helpful nature of its members. Cheers one and all Keith |
