Being able to turn layers off is very handy because you can include all sorts of mostly irrelevant dimensions that you need to build but can make vanish for the larger overview. Sure would be nice to be able to draw simething with lines and curves then convert it to an object.

Pretty much all I can use this software for is the walls, which is very helpful, but I have to use similar objects sized to my sizes. What I don’t like is I’d like to be able to draw my own furniture, windows, etc. This program allows you to quickly change back and forth. It’s much easier to work in the metric system, so I do all dimensions in metric, but in the USA lumber and some other things are still sized in inches. I’m remodling a house and love several things about this program.
