@Dustin doesn’t Revit cost about $5k? That might be bigger than my entire office budget!

Hehe I find it hilarious that you have plans for your office! Mine is a desk that I have moved into the corner of the living room so as I can see TV and still have room to eat!

Nice post :)

@someguy yes – making sure that you have enough space around objects is a good one. That’s why I like 3-D visualization tools: it’s much easier to see if you haven’t allowed enough space.

Lots of thoughts come to mind.
You could use some free CAD software like QCAD

In the past, I’ve also used vector drawing programs like Illustrator and PowerPoint (or their open source equivalents). Heck, even images on layers in photoshop might help.

If you have a copy of Visio lying around, there are some stencils to help you with that.

None of those ideas are 3D, they are simply a more refined step above plain paper. However, you might be able to fake it if you draft both the top and profile views of the areas in question. Use software you have and know.

Make sure you don’t forget about traffic paths and ensure you have enough space to move around objects.

I really like this idea – I’m a devout graphing paper person myself, but love the resources you revealed!
