Grid paper software

xraycat87 · 20 Jul 2015 at 23:10

Hello,

Having mixed results with awful tool bar addons and such.

I need a piece of software to make a grid, similar to the old books in maths!

I'm planning my house move so I NEED something to work on the computer, rather then print off some gird paper and draw..

You NEED or you WANT?

To make everything work before the move, I'd say need, given Ikea for example is a 120 mile round trip so would prefer to know what space I can play with for sure

I'm currently using the free version to design my house at the moment.

I think that's the kind of thing you're looking for?

Google sketch up?

Free trial of autocad?

Not that I've found so far unfortunately. If you find out how let me know.

Ikea have their own planning tools (like simplified AutoCAD) available for download.

It looks like Google Layout was pretty much invented for this. It now downloads as a part of sketchup and the Pro version is free for 30 days.

Edit: Print screen of me using it.

I never managed to get Google layout to work properly, and drawing a house in sketchup is a major pain. Once you've done the layout can you then view it in 3d?
