Im in the progress of planning a complete home improvement, where all the interiors is pulled down, floors torn up, and only the shell is intact, before rebuilding everything.

But in the designing process i miss the ease of a drawing tool as autocad that we used in school as an mason apprentice.

So home improvement people, what is a good alternative to autocad, for detailed blueprints and measurements?

What about freecad ? It's closer from CATIA than autocad in term of use. Which would be a long way behind autocad

Ill look into them, but arent they mostly 3d programs?

Indeed, Freecad is 3D, which is more suited for "let's design a crank and gear system" than "let's re-design a kitchen", but not sure how you would use autocad to do so.

Afaik, Freecad has an architecture module/plugin.
