Any recommendations for cheap/ free architectural software.
Ease of use a bonus!
I've decided to build a house and need to get my ideas visualized.
Sketchup? Revit?

Sketchup seems popular in our office, you can get a 30 day trial for Revit...

Sketch up for visuals and playing with 3D. Draftsight for detailed, accurate 2D scale drawings and plans.

Sketchup was more than good enough for extremely detailed plans/visualisation for the bathroom renovation I'm 3/4 of the way through...

Funnily enough I'm actually planning to get into Revit in a big way as a career move, but I haven't taken the 30 day trial as I don't have the time to make the most of it (due to said bathroom renovation)...

Sketchup Make 2015 should be spot on, you can also access a warehouse with items to give some size reference to your plans (kitchen units, etc)
