This is just for messing around to see in digital form the house that I dream of in my head. Is there a truly free one that does a decent job?
I’ve played with it in Sims 3 but I was wondering if there was something more realistic out there. Bonus if it’s something where I could generate a noob file that a pro architect could use to base a real design on.
You could try sweethome3d (open source). Although I haven’t tried to design a whole house, I’ve used it for designing my deck layout. Take a look at the gallery to see if it fits your need - Sweet Home 3D gallery You can try it online through browser or download the installer ( Windows/Linux/MacOS)
Yes, built it 2yrs ago. I can share the design and pic of the final product if you like.
I don’t think we will have a deck but I would definitely love to see pics.
