floorplan layout software?
 
Does anyone know of any software (hopefully freeware) that allows me to draw
a floor plan?

Regards,
Robert

No, but if you go to Ebay, to computers, to softweare, and search on
Floorplan, there's 61 pieces of software for sale at the moment. Looks
like you can get *something* for $10 incl shipping...

Whatever you settle on, be sure it can export/import a design in EDIF or
some other standard format.

I agree with the substantial benefits of being able to port to a common
CAD file format, but EDIF isn't that common for CAD programs commonly
associated with construction and residential design.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDIF
DWG, DXF are probably the two most common.

To the OP: if you Google freeware "floor plan" you'll find
something to suit your needs.

Free and much more versatile than any home design software I've used
(imsi, punch)

I'll bite. How can I download the component libraries? I can see the
library preview screen but there's no "download" button. The program
itself came across just fine.

This one used to be shareware. I don't know if it still runs
after the 30 days. http://www.homeplanpro.com/index.html

If you send me your email address I can send you the older
version.
