Hey Mike, I just tried Cubicasa, didn't really know what I was doing and the plans came out great. Now I can add this to my list of services. thanks!

Last week I tried this for the first time on a 7500sqf house. Very complicated floor plan. Wine cellar in the basement, office at floor 1.5 and 2 set of stairways to second floor. 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, balcony and a detached two stories guest house. Man! I was so sure the app cant handle it and I was amazed by the end result! I’m now so confident in this tool. Thank you for sharing.

I felt the same way. I tried this on a 2,700sqft house with a lot of furniture and appliances in the way and thought no way this would/could work and thought I would just be wasting money to even try. Sure enough I got back the plan and could not believe how accurate the layout is.
