I'm looking for a freebie drawing package to do some simple scale drawings of a house, no more detail than outline and position of doors and windows - but it does need to be a scale drawing. Can anybody suggest some mac compatible software?

Google sketchup?

If it's a one-off, omnigraffle is good and 30day demo is free IIRC.

sketchup if you can be bothered to learn how to use it properly (I couldnt).

I just used powerpoint and set the page size to the right order of magnitude for the scale I wanted to use.

Check with planning dept/archive. They may have the plans there from new build, they did with mine and it's 110 years old.

Omnigraffle is very good.

I used it for some scale drawings for a building warrant enquiry recently.

InkScape is a free drawing package which would also do it.
