Any of the Consumer home remodeling programs will work fine for basic
floorplans and working up ideas and are actually better for visualizing
remodeling plans but they may not produce the kind of drawing you want to
take to the city to get a permit for a remodel. For this you might want to
try one of the more generic CAD programs though the learning curve will be
harder. If you are a student or a teacher, eduicational discounts are
generally available for these programs and will save significant amount of
$. There is an Archetectural version of AutoCadLT but it is expensive and
has more than you will ever need.

I need to make a floorplan for an engineer to work off of so he can work
up a foundation rebuild. It's a 2 story 1925 square foot 95 year old
house. I started trying to do it on graph paper, but I figure I'm just
making things tough on myself doing it that way.

This floor plan will probably come in handy for some alterations I'm
contemplating - tearing out a wall or two, putting in a door or two,
etc.

What's a reasonably cost effective software for what I want to do?

Thanks.

Dan
