DreamPlan is a user-friendly application that gives you a really good way to create a 3D plan of your design project, in just a few steps.
It has a simple, fully featured interface that houses a few different tabs that correspond to the different operations you can perform; 'Building', 'Exterior', 'Interior' and 'Landscaping'.
The ‘Building’ section is where you start to create your plan. Here you can add interior and exterior walls, and doors and windows as you see fit. From the ‘Interior’ section you can add and arrange different furniture, such as chairs, tables, sofas, or beds. Not only that but you can also add appliances and electronics, lighting and plumbing elements, and other decorative items, such as fireplaces, blinds and mirrors.
