I’ve never built a new house from the ground up. Always just bought them already built in the past. I’m ready to get some house plans drawn up. It’s very hard for me to visualize how I’d like the layout, much less every little detail, from a piece of flat paper. My question is: does anyone have computer programs that will create a more “virtual” set of plans that are 3 dimensional? Any recommendations here?

I’m looking for something more than just sketch lines on a piece of paper. I’m looking for some one that has computer programming that you can see a “ virtual layout” of the house plans. Like walking into the room and panning left and right on the computer screen. I know this kind of stuff is available, I see it on the house renovation tv shows. I just don’t know who/where to go that has it.

Luckily for us, my wife really likes a Tilson home plan, so we got to see a built version of the home already. That was awesome.
She wants to make adjustments to the floor plan, so we will still have to go to an architect unless we use tilson.
You can see all tilson floor plans online as well. Tilson has very generous room sizes and we really liked a lot of their plans. Worth looking in to!

Go here and download the "Shape" program.
Get BricsCAD Shape, free 3d model design software for conceptual design. Model your ideas with CAD accuracy. Ideal for architects & designers.
It is free program, if you are visual and computer literate it is fairly easy to use.
Full disclosure, I work for the company that develops this software. But not the Architectural division.
I did play with the program a year ago and thought it would have been nice when I built my home 10 years ago.
