Need recommendations for 3D/2D home modeling/floor plan software

[Jessica Hood]

Hi!  Have any of you used any 3D or 2D construction/architecture/room planning software that you could recommend?  The kind that comes with a lot of assets and allows you to create imagery of planned renovations or new home construction.  Deck and landscaping options are also desired.  I see a lot of them on the Internet, but am not sure which ones are good.  Preferably not super expensive.

Thanks!!

If you're just doing basic residential drawings and 3D visualization, sketchup might work for you. It's inexpensive and easy to use. If you need professional drawings, you might just contract them out instead of buying the software.
