How to draw a house? Planning question

nuzuki · 18 October 2014 at 9:32AM

Hi all,
Im after a program that allows me to draw a house/home. I am wanting to submit a planning application for a barn conversion but need to submit a digital representation of the conversion. Ive used floorplanner.com and sweethome3d for the floorplans but both do not allow me to draw a picture that has a roof. Roofs are important as you all know, unless I start a new trend for convertible houses which I dont think will take off to well in England with our wet weather

I have tried taking a picture of the barn and converting the photo to a black n white drawing using another program but need to add windows to this. I was going to cut out bits of paper squares to show the windows, stick them on the picture and photocopy it but it seems a bit blue peter-ish. Surely theres another way?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You could do what I did, draw it with a pencil and scan it or even photograph it if you don't have a scanner.

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of getting my crayons out but was hoping there was an easier more professional way. Did you submit that on a planning app? If so for what and did it get approved all ok? Maybe im over complicating things
