I'm not sure if the TurboCad[^] package offers what you want but I believe it does some architectural visualizing and you can get an older version quite resonable.
You might try a trial version[^] if the older versions don't offer what you want, although don't know how limited they are.
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

For quite easy to use stuff I used Home Sweet home 3d[^]
It was easy enough to use to spend v little time, and gave a good enough view to give some idea of what we were doing (we were actually designing a shop interior in a railway carriage)
|
|
|
|
|
SketchUp[^] might also be an option. I've never used it like that, but heard lots of people talk about its power. But that Sweet Home 3D looks pretty darn cool, and what I did try SketchUp for long ago made me gun shy of the difficulty of drawing in it (I have lots of AutoCad experience, and precision in SketchUp was hard to achieve compared to that).

SketchUp seems OK to begin with but you soon realise it actually lacks in a lot of areas.
For example, there seems to be no way to make an object of a specific size. You have to spend 5 minutes moving your mouse pixel at a time to get it accurate, and even then it never really gets where you want it to be. Sometimes you have a choice of 9.39" or 9.41" but never .40

There is an obscure keyboard shortcut that allows you to type in the exact measurements. I don't remember it (I haven't used SketchUp in quite some time), but I do remember that I found it by using Bing(!) to search for 'SketchUp Exact Measurement Entry' (I think that was what I searched for). Google came up with no real useful information (sadly).
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

A former NYPD officer, who was arrested in 2012 for conspiring to kidnap, murder, cook and eat women, has gotten a job working as a chef at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan in order to "kill time."
... According to his mother, Elizabeth Valle, the pizza he makes is so good that even the guards eat it. "He has mastered making pizza," she told the Daily News. [^].

Yes he could, but too bad I can't listen to Jazz, too much sax and violin (Will Farrell)

I have a love-hate relationship with Jazz - particularly recorded Jazz - sometimes I can listen to it, others I just can't stand it. But live jazz...oh that can be good, oh yes.
It can also be be worse than amateur local-pub-punk-bands, which is saying something...

Quote: But live jazz...oh that can be good, oh yes.
I read this instead:
Quote: But jazz with alcohol...oh that can be good, oh yes.
But I think I understand, I too can listen to some jazz, but it much depends on my mood.

When I read your words, the Cerenkov light flickered, but he did not miss a note, or a word.

If anyone will be in the San Francisco area between May 18 and 22 be sure to swing by the Moscone Center and check out the DevNet Zone at Cisco Live 2014. Scott Hanselman will be speaking at the event on May 21 and he's also one of the judges for the DevNet Hackathon which has a $5,000 grand prize.
We still have a few a few free passes left so be sure to claim yours soon!

I will be... going surfing in Santa Cruz at that time.

Either that or the person whose account he's constantly hacking changes his password very often (he's probably suspicious)...
