I planned and created everything with Autodesk Inventor. Inventor is available for free for "students" (or anyone who claims to be a student), but it shows on every drawing, which doesn't matter at all. However, Inventor is a professional 3D CAD software, and the required skills are not something you learn just on the side. If you know a bit about it, a CAD program of course beats any hobby home designer software by far. I have modeled all the furniture and can say down to the millimeter how much space is here and there. And I can also create drawings from the models (3D), which I can send directly to someone. I can move my models around in the rooms and later measure what size this and that can have, or which dimension I definitely want to have later.

What speaks against creating your own design?

We have specific ideas and also a plot of land. I want to create a design and gather opinions and suggestions on it before going to the architect. Is this approach so wrong?

Prepare yourself that he won’t be good the first 40 times :D unless you are a natural talent (they say those exist too). Always post him obediently and let him be rated. Lengthy process, but something nice can come out of it. There is just so much to consider... rooms, technology, materials, interior and exterior appearance, lighting, wiring, colors, legal issues, costs, structural engineering, fashion, your needs..

I bought the program cadvilla for our condominium apartment several years ago and have since upgraded to the Pro version. During the house construction, we had a good proposal from an architect, which was then planned in more detail, and I implemented it myself in cadvilla, purely for fun.

Advantage: You can also "walk" through the rooms, place furniture, move walls, to check problems and your own requirements yourself, without having to go through 25 rounds with the architect. For a new build, the house is initially not "graspable" for a layperson, because it is hardly imaginable based on the floor plan how it will look afterwards. Such programs really help with that.

The fact is: It takes time and you have to enjoy it, otherwise it is all pointless.

The basis of our planning is a floor plan of a model house that we liked very much. Of course, we have to modify it a bit. Thus, it is already "tangible" for us how our house could look.
