We are planning a fairly large scale remodel of a house we hope to
buy.

Anyone any recommendations for (preferably shareware downloadable)
house / room layout software so basic sizes of rooms and their
contents can be visualised?

I used Punch "Professional" Home Design for a while and designed a
complete 2 floor dwelling. Good fly-through capabilities inside and
outside. Not a lot of fine detail provided on the furniture and
fittings though it does beds, doors, stairs, sinks, taps etc. as I remember.
£35 on Ebay or a bit more at PC world.

If you're planning on buying the software go for the best.

I'm sure I had a similar thing from Dulux but can't find it for the moment.

Well nothing comes cheap. :-) DL the demo or have them send you the
disc,although the save routine has been disabled it can still be usable.

Hmm - now I'm interested. Must give that a go.

Usually I use Cycas CAD (www.cycas.de) on Linux which is great for 2D work,
so floorplans. Claimed 3D abilities are painful though, as are the
limitations on textures (whole objects have texture, not surfaces, so hard
to paint same wall one colour in one room and a different colour in
adjoining room).

I thought that only did a single room, and even then limited to certain
basic layouts, not too bad for freebie though ...

I'm using the SketchUp demo (www.sketchup.com), 8 hours free usage
before you have to pay (£350!) - upside it's by far the most easy and
quick/easy/intuitive drawing package I've used.
