Easy blueprint design program

9 years ago

We are at the beginning of planning some room additions and want to play around on the computer to see different options. Can anyone recommend a user friendly design program that would allow us to move walls and experiment with the layout? I have heard of one called SmartDraw, any recommendations? Eventually we will hire an architect but for now just want to get ideas.

i tried using this site:

http://www.smallblueprinter.com/floorplan/floorplan.html

i have an older (2010) macbook pro and it seems to work great so far. i have not finalized my plans, so i am not sure if there will be further complications- but thus far, it is user friendly, free and fun!

Here is a link that might be useful: smartdraw/blueprint program for mac
