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. KEY FEATURES INCLUDE: Home and Floor Plan Design: switch between 3D, 2D, and blueprint view modes. Landscape and Garden Design: build the terrain of outdoor landscaping areas. Interior and Room Design: add furniture, fixtures, appliances and other decorations. Remodelling, Additions and Redesigning: create walls, multiple stories, decks and roofs. For the 'Exterior' section you can add 'Plants' (trees or flowers), 'Lighting' elements, 'Paths', 'Furniture' and other 'Accessories'. In a similar manner, from the 'Landscaping' section, you can raise or lower the level of the ground on a preferred radius and with a user-defined magnitude. Overall, for a free CAD application, DreamPlan does a really good job at helping you visualize how your designed project will look.
