i want to design houses, but have no software

[matt_chamberlain2004]

i really need software so i can design houses without pencil and paper. i don't want to spend hundreds of dollars though. I don't want to use cad so i seem pretty limited... anyone know where to get some software?

CAD is an electronic pencil. It costs money. Just as you would not attempt a technical drawing by hand without the associated tools you can not reasonbly make technical drawings electronicly with your computer without an technical drawing software product. Technical drafting tools in both cases are expensive because they are precision tools. I suggest that you use the pencil in your hand to best advantage.

Put everything in pencil and paper before CAD???

Maybe with traditional click-click-click verb-noun CAD, like AutoCAD.

But not if you're using modern-concept, design-oriented, click-and-drag, noun-verb CAD!
