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?

I have used DesignSpark Mechanical for 3D printer design, but I am sure it could be easily used for 2D Blueprints.

I have been using their free version for years now. It does a pretty good job.

If your going to be doing any electrical diagrams or other charts. Draw.io is another good one. https://github.com/jgraph/drawio Although I do sometimes can be frustrating drawing lines to other objects. So I don't know if it would give it a 5 star rating.
