In their own words
Sweet Home 3D
Sweet Home 3D is an interior design application for drawing home plans and viewing them in 3D. In its 2D plan, users can draw straight, round, or sloping walls with precise dimensions and add room areas, dimension lines, text, arrows, and a compass rose. A live 3D view shows the design from above or from a virtual visitor’s perspective as the plan is built. The software can render images and videos with adjustable lights and sunlight based on time of day and geographic location. It imports blueprints, 3D models, and textures, and can print or export PDFs, images, videos, and 3D files in standard formats. The free desktop and online version costs nothing; downloadable editions have smaller furniture and texture catalogs. Sweet Home 3D Online Manager runs in a compatible browser, but free registration is required to save designs. The Microsoft Store Monthly Premium subscription costs $9.99 a month and includes a 7-day free trial. Desktop editions are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
