I’m in need of a CAD program with an easy aproach for someone with zero experience on this type of software.

3D printing is not a concern

I intend to draw the blueprints for my house. The building is old, no blueprints exist for it, and I intend to make renovations to it, so having blueprints to work on to plan the renovations will be a huge help.

    I did something similar recently, old house, wanted floor plans for renovation / idea generation.

    Initially I started with FreeCAD and used the BIM functionaly, worked well, but a few bugs at time.

    I’ve done a few smaller scale models of some rooms recently in [Bonsai](https://bonsaibim.org/(formerly BlenderBIM), and found the process a little more pleasent. This could be due to my previous blender experience and the hotkeys being more on my bones.

      I respect Blender very much but I’m also aware it requires a very deep dive to manage to use at minimum. So, as much as I can, I’ll avoid it.

        requires a very deep dive

        On the contrary, in my opinion it was very intuitive. AI is also more helpful than with freecad when I ask it “how to do _ in blender/freecad?”
