In Sweet Home 3D is a free tool for planning of buildings and for creating floor plans. For most planning, the online version is sufficient, with which you can get started straight away without downloading. If you want to save the corresponding floor plan, you have to register or download the software. Once you have the approximate digital floor plan including walls and windows, you can easily add more details such as color elements or furnish the room with furniture.
You can draw your floor plan with your mouse and keyboard using straight, curved and sloping walls. You can also specify precise dimensions to make it easier for you to carry out your planning later. Of course, doors and windows can also be inserted in order to calculate the later openings in the building. You can insert markings in the construction plan for important notes. For example, each room can be named directly or the orientation of the house can be adjusted using a compass rose..
