Design Software


Do any of you use any type of design software for projects like additions, decks, or hardscaping. I have 3 years of mechanical and architectual design and usually draw all my own plans for permits. I was looking for something decent to save some time. Any suggestions? there are alot out there and just looking for the best solution.

Re: Design Software


I use a couple design software, what is it that you will be trying to accomplish with it?

2D con. docs. 3D "pretty pictures", or both.

Any 3D software you get or even just a 2D software will have a certain learning curve associated with it.

Re: Design Software


More or less both. The 3-d stuff would be more for the HO to wow over. I am mainly looking for it for the 2D design specs for the County requirements. The learning curve is fine for me. Thanks for your help.
