SketchUp Pro lets you effortlessly design highly accurate (to a thousandth of an inch) 3D models of homes (and other similar structures), all using simple click-and-release mouse actions. Just choose from one of the many preloaded templates, select a view and you're ready to go. In addition to 3D models, you can also create plans, elevations, details, title blocks and a lot more, using the 'LayOut' tool. It's also great for making presentation documents, supporting everything from drafting to vector illustrations. The program makes it easy to turn models into animated walkthroughs and flyovers that explain every detail. You can also add elements such as line work, textures and shadows to 2D documents. Then there are the dimensioning tools, which snap to the edges of models and allow you to quickly set format, scale and precision level of displayed measurements.
From architects and builders to engineers and urban planners, SketchUp can be used by everyone. The created design documents can be exported as PDFs, images and CAD files. DreamPlan lets you create the floor plan of your house, condo or apartment in a jiffy. You can specify custom colors, textures, furniture and decorations, and plan out exterior landscaping ideas and gardening spaces.
It's easy to switch between different view modes (3D, 2D and Blueprint) and design floor plans. The program has an intuitive user interface that allows for easy model creation and customization, and the trace mode can be used to import existing floor plans. For landscape design, you can build terrain, visualize elements like a swimming pool, and even add trees and gardens.
HomePlan also comes with powerful interior and room design features. You can thoroughly plan home decor with 3D furniture, fixtures, appliances and other decorations, and even plan out and design the basement. The software has an extensive library of 3D architecture objects that can be added to designs. You can rotate symbols in different planes, and choose to have the CAD block refresh automatically as objects are modified. It's possible to set heights by absolute or relative positions, and the program lets you reference adjacent floors for designing multi-tiered decks. You can customize room labels, edit multiple elements (e.g. All cabinets) together with one command, as well as create architectural blocks that can be moved as one and stored in the library.
