the sims?

3D home design is pretty cool. It's like CAD but geared for houses. You can even do landscaping and add interior stuff

[atholon]

Yeah. There was another one that my other sister used when she was in an interior design class but I forgot the name.

[VooDoo-]

if your really cool you'd use AutoCAD .. but it's pricey and dificult to use lol

For what he is doing punch would work fine.

3d Studio Max...

hehe grand design

wish i could afford grand lol

just toying with the idea of building above the garage,but the trouble is it`s only single skin

have to weigh up the disruption and more importantly the cost

[atholon]

$146.95 For 3dsMax
$800+ for AutoCad
$50 I think for punch!

I dunno how much for the one he got.

this is my ground floor plan,the shaded area indicates the size of my upstairs at the moment.as you can see i would gain quite a large area.

Gunna build it yourself?

[staffy bull]

maybe the interior but not the main build
