DIY/Architecture apps

I guess the biggest struggle would be in how you enter the details for your own home. The measurements would be simple enough for it to create the rooms, but furniture and so on would be a lot more difficult, unless you simply use default "chair", "sofa", etc to get an idea of size and positions.

It's not the prettiest way to do it, but I've just been making square block furniture. It's good enough to confirm that there'll be a gap of [x]mm between a sofa and a wall, for example.

I've been using homestyler.com by autodesk over the last couple of weeks and it's probably the best free software i've found in terms of ease of use

think i tried to use a similar app to scan a room and draw out a floorplan, but didn't work so well when you can't see the corner of a room to capture its dimensions

this looks slicker though
