After playing around on the excellent floorplanner.com trying to perfect my home designs, I decided that some things could be accomplished better in legitimate CAD software. I also thought this would be a fun and useful thing to learn so I just dove in. Here's the result of my work today, a rendering of the special garage I had planned in the house. There's obviously some flaws that I haven't quite figured out how to fix yet, but I think it's a fairly solid first effort.
I'll probably still use floorplanner.com, as it's much better for roughing out the broad strokes of an idea. An intermediate stage between a hand drawn sketch and the precise CAD model. Honestly something like ArchiCAD is probably overkill for me, but I'm enjoying it for the time being. Now I need to find a better car than that old BMW to use for my 3D model!

Kind of. It's professional software, but they offer a free license to university students, so I'm using that.

Looks good, but it might need a Snap-On tool box or two... :)
