Free Intuitive Fast | Can only see one floor at a time. So it's not good for envisioning a whole house (but it is called Floorplanner not Houseplanner). You cannot create scaled drawings to provide to trades people (but you can dimension the drawings instead). Can't clone an existing level. This feature is used with some home design software packages when you create a main level and then clone that level so that you are starting with the same footprint or exterior walls for your upper level. The program does not include any kind of structural features for showing framing. |
