![]() This is exactly the level this software is pitched at - I will leave the architect and structural engineer to the detail of the inner construction of the walls I intend throughout the build to keep my local model on Sweethome in step with the models that my architect will create on his/her own software. My construction will be steel frame with insulated panels but I do not want to handle that level of detail in my design - I just want to say - thats a wall and its X thick etc. I am an ex CADCAM software engineer and I am blown away how one developer has grown such a reliable sophisticated product yet kept it simple, it does exactly what I need, its reliable, well written and intuitive - someone has put a lot of care and attention into this.

You can even specify that your newly created window will auto-cut its profile when inserted into a wall. Following online tutorials you can custom build windows which was important for my project, I am using some very large windows - simply scaling a small window creates a disproportionately large frame -better to design your own and this software offers that. Furniture in this context does not just mean chairs, it can mean shelves, mirrors, toilets, freezers, kitchens and outdoor plants and even windows and doors. I would encourage serious users to also upload the furniture library software which enables you to create your own custom furniture library to share across projects very easily.
