Been cooking some ideas in my head for a 'workshop' I want to build when I find and can afford a small farm with some suitable land and want to get them drawn up so I can see my ideas and use it for motivation.
Looking for something aimed at doing basic building designs with a selection of construction textures and things like trees, grass etc? Doesn't need to be very fancy with all the bells and whistles.
Google Sketchup - free (unless you need posh stuff) and pretty powerful.
lego
2H and paper.
lego - how I miss all mine in mums loft 🙁
ben - sketchup looks like it should do. The basic version for now. I like the google earth integration, will let me stick the workshop anywhere I am looking at 😀
Might be some useful information in [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/designing-an-extensionanyone-used-any-good-not-too-complicated-software ]this[/url] thread from a few days back.
Sketchup would be good for general big picture type stuff, but I struggled to use it when submitting plans for approval and ended up using SolidWorks which is free, although I see that the latest release has no Win XP support anymore.
Have fun and good luck finding that farm!
ahh I missed that thread from the other day.
Something like this place would do me for now: http://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/26493694
Needs an Aga though.
A friend used to have her horse there and it's now for sale. Think I need to aim for somewhere that's more of a project though unfortunately 🙁
