Home architect/design/planning software - any good?
 

anyone ever try any of these types of programs? And are they worth a shit?

not the uber complex AutoCAD stuff.... (that's what actual architects are for) just the simple shit to do general stuff and get ideas.

I believe that they have software for both the regular consumer and the professional.

Cant help you there, I can work wit AutoCad and for the simple stuff I use a very lame dutch program
