[comp.sys.amiga] A CAD Program to Diagram my House?

greg@ncr-sd.SanDiego.NCR.COM (Greg Noel) (07/19/88)

I would like to get a package that would be sufficient to do the
layout of my house.  What I would like to do is outline the house
and then be able to reposition things (like furniture, rugs, etc.)
within it.  I would like it to be flexible enough so that it would
show varying amounts of detail at different levels of magnification.
I would like it to have some idea of how things conflict spacially;
that is, I would like it to complain if I put a sofa on a wall, but
it's OK if I put a table on a rug, for example.

I would also like it to be inexpensive.  That may be asking a lot.

I have had both IntroCAD by Progressive Perhiperals (about $80) and
Draw Plus by Aegis (about $260) recommended to me.  Is IntroCAD
sufficient for what I want to do?  Or is the extra $180 for Draw
Plus really worth it?  Is there another package that would meet
my needs?

Please answer by mail, if possible; I'll post a followup with what
I learn.  Thanks.
