I’m looking for software that will allow me to design in the interior of my building for a new build out.

I would like to find something 3 D but fairly easy to use. I wanna be able to add walls, hallways, doors, shelves, tables, ect.

I’m going to be building some breeding rooms for the wife and another flower room and drying room. So I want to play around with how to make it best fit and use the space.

Blender is open source 3d that has prerendered models library. you can just insert walls, tables, ducting, light fixtures into your design space, rotate, move, resize.
After the learning curve is passed and you can actually make a room layout in 3d it's rewarding but like most i ended up just using pencil and paper. Cuz you need to make changes so frequently in mock up that tweaks in 3d world become time sinks, taking away from the forward creative momentum.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking after trying to mess with 3 D software for a few minutes. Maybe if the software recommended above is easier I could do it on paper first then do it on there.

Engineer's pad, pencil, and HP 35s would get me there faster than learning to use new SW tool. Plus, I'm lazy. Also, my PC is an ancient laptop running W7, so there's that.

I did knock out an HP program to calculate VPD from T-leaf, T-env, and RH env. Threw out all my Cal-Mag stained charts. :bigjoint:
