That will give you views of what it looks like for the planning variance, and you can do sections thru the model to get floorplans.

(Just re-read your intended use, I'd go for Sketchup. This is a short video tutorial showing the Deltacad user how to easily set the correct drawing scale of their drawing. Given that most are free, try them out and find the one that matches your personality and needs.

If you want to do 3D modeling, Sketchup is probably the way to go, given the online support (you can get 2D views out of it using the section tool.) dwg or dxf files, then any older IMSI (TurboCAD) or DesignSight, or DeltaCAD, or LibreCAD will work for you. I haven't used DeltaCAD in a while, but it used to be awkward, and really dated looking. Lots of tutorials, and their other products are industry standards.

Laroke mentioned DraftSight, I'm in the same boat as him. Popular Drafting Software from CADPro has easy to use tools for home design,floor plans,house plans,home improvement,home repair,home remodeling,house floor plans and landscaping. The versions that are one or 2 generations behind are more than capable, and are less than $50 which is almost free. I've been a TurboCAD user since version 1.0 and it has worked well. Its feature set is somewhat limited compared to the big boys, but it is probably good for 95% of users. LibreCAD is totally free, open source software. The macro then presents the Hull Sections options box. For the Mini-Kayak it is called Mini-Kayak.CSV, as shown below. this program is almost as inexpensive as DeltaCAD, at 70.

where the Excel file is located) and select and okay the CSV file. The manual starts off with a simple tutorial that exposes you to the basics of a CAD drawing. You will need to navigate to your working directory (i.e. I haven't used it, but Autodesk is the maker of AutoCad, the industry standard. It starts in the DeltaCad macro directory. I use it in addition to cad.Īutodesk has 123D available free. You will need it if you have any experience with traditional cad programs. It takes a different approach to the drawing process than most drafting programs. I got burnt trying to learn a program published in Chechoslovakia, program was probably OK & they did provide email support, but learning it was a b.tch without tutorial support. It does identify interferences & Bill of Materials, which I like. It doesn't do everything, but it's pretty darn close. They also have a multi-CD video learning package at about $200 which is pretty good.

They still have a free trial download for evaluation. Mine originally cost $400 a few years back. For 2D I think I still prefer AutoCAD, although AlibreCAD does have a nice sheet metal feature.Īlibre's prices have gone up, so it may not be as great a deal now. After trying a few different programs, I acquired 'AlibreCAD expert' which I like very much. I also acquired a few different copies of software cheaply as a student from Academicsoftware. The class was for 'CNC plasma cutting' but I took what I learned there about AutoCAD in 2D design & then took a 'CNC machining' class & learned some G-code and MasterCAM X. I went the same route as you, 'cept instead of just using the builtin tutorials, I took a class at my local community college. Don't even try if you are going to be distracted by other people.

There is no amount of reading or watching someone else do it that will replace putting pencil to paper or cursor to screen and actually drawing the lines and circles and whatnot. I have to teach this stuff and if there was an easier way I would certainly have my students doing it the easier way. There is no magic pill or tape to listen to in your sleep or video to watch that will replace actually doing it. do the simple drawing by hand, then do it in CAD.

I can sell you a copy for $5 plus shipping. I would get a copy of Basic Technical Drawing by Spencer, Dygdon and Novak. The real power comes in when you have to do revisions, arrays, dimensioning, and neat text. At first it is a LOT slower than just simply drawing it either free-hand or with mechanical aids. You need to start with a tutorial that is as simple as some of your simplest sketches.
