Anybody know what they're called or where to find them? Get some graph paper with 1/4 inch squares in the largest size sheet you can locate and using 1 square = 1 foot (or if the basement is small enough or the sheet is large enough 2 or 4 squares = 1 foot) lay out first the walls and doors, then add the fixed fixtures. This is your base. Then take more of the graph paper and cut out scale sized pieces to represent the items that will be movable. Color them in several colors and start playing. Take photos of the various combinations and see what you like best. -- Rich Greenberg N Ft Myers, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 239 543 1353 Eastern time.

We want to do something with the basement, but the immovable fixtures and existing framed-in spaces make it difficult to visualize anything. Any suggestions for simple software which allows placement of the fixed walls and utilities and then for moving around all the other stuff we want to try? I've seen references to products that work on a paper grid with paper or plastic cutouts, but haven't been able to lay my hands on such a thing. Anybody know what they're called or where to find them? There is tons of different software that does this kind of thing, too. Some will even render a 3D image and let you "walk through" it virtually. I haven't used any of it for over a deacde but back then we used 3D Home Design by Broderbund. You can often see older versions of this (and others) for sale for $10 or less at Best Buy and such. |
