OT: Interior Design

I have my library finished, just line the walls with bookcases and a reading desk and a sofa ;-)

Now I'm pondering how to do my office. The old floor space was a rectangle, the new is slighter more square feet, but it's square, with more windows and doors.... making it hard for me to visualize desk, bookcases, file cabinets and PC placements.

So I'm looking for recommendations for interior design software, free or relatively inexpensive :-) that features walk-thru 3-D views.

Any ideas? ...Jim Thompson

Apparently "free" only as a 30-day free trial...

No PC, either. Everybody runs apps on phones.

Remember "The Time Machine"?

The speaking rings?

And the crumbling text scrolls?

No pool table?

Requires Chrome web browser (or get the Android app). I've been using it for about 3 months with good results. The learning curve is initially a bit steep, but once you get past the jargon section, it becomes much easier. There are other similar apps available, none of which I've tried yet: etc. Search for "floor plan".

None of that matters when you put in the hot tub and the sauna.

Put the desk and the PC in a corner of the library and be done with it.

He claims to be such a genius, but I'll bet that he has always been too stupid to have ever embraced billiards.

You've got to be stupid to embrace billiards. Snooker is much more interesting.

Huh? I have ~20 lineal feet x 8' high bookcases, filled to the brim, plus stacks on the floor... my wife has as many cookbooks as I have engineering references.

When I do another ~15' of bookcases in my office we will be able to use the floor for walking ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Snooker is a billiard game, idiot.

Pocket billiards includes snooker, and has a list of other games and they are all billiard games.

Carom billiards is likely what your stupid ass thought I meant.

It too is a billiard game.

Thanks for proving yet again just how clueless you are.

With your recent query posts about processors, etc. You must lack the capacity to perform a google search, where everything on your shelves can be found in seconds.

You had to ask here because the crap on your shelves is decades old, and none reference modern CPUs.

So you must sit and play solitaire on your expensive PCs.

Old classic hardbound antique books have value. "crap references" from the seventies on up, are all available easily online. Better use is to send them to the recycler.

Even the ARRL handbooks are there (online).

Get with the times, old man.

No question: Sketchup. The price is right, too. $0 (for the personal version).
