A 3D home design using software that a DIYer can afford and use

I am building out the attic in my home with some dormers, and I would like to use home design software to generate a realistic 3D model that I can view and interact with from both the exterior and interior. I have tried to model the house using Home Designer Suite 2014 by Chief Architect, but I am having difficulty getting the software to do exactly what I want. I would like to have my current home structure modeled using 3D home design software, as well as two alternative attic plans that I am considering. The end result should be a couple of files that I can load in my own version of the home design software so that I can explore and further tweak the designs myself. I would prefer if the designs can be done in Home Designer Suite by Chief Architect, but I am open to other options as well (including the higher level editions of Home Designer), as long as the software doesn't get too expense (i.e., preferably not over $500). If for some reason it isn't feasible to implement the designs in any available DIY software, I would be open to having it done using more expensive professional software if there is at least some kind of free or inexpensive viewer that would allow me to interact with the 3D models (rather than just see a few static snapshots). However, I would much prefer the ability to edit the plans myself. I have much of the existing home already modeled in Home Designer (not including the attic dormers, and with a few problems that would need to be corrected). I could provide that file as a starting point, and I could of course provide all needed dimensions. An image of what I have so far is attached.

Hi, how are you? I carefully read your description and gone through files. We can end up your project without problem, but for accurate price I need to know what exactly you are looking for, i.e. do you require all rooms to be completely designed and furnished or you need just basically modeled, etc... Please check our portfolio interior design samples and let me know is that level of details you wish? We are team of only regular degree and master degree architects and great, very experienced designers with experiences in practice since 2006. I invite you to have a chat with me to discuss your project (if i work at the moment please have patience, will be with you soon). Best regards! Boris from Novi Sad

Hi, I am a licensed Texas architect, also registered in Israel. I typically draw projects in 3D with SketchUp and make all 2D drawings from a 3D model. I typically charge $40 per hour for this type of work, $80 per hour for work requiring a Texas licensed architect. I have a 2 hour min. per project. There is a free version of SketchUp available which allows you to make changes or view the actual model. It may not be as straight forward as Chief Architect because it is not exclusive to building design, but it is rather simple to learn some basics. I will be happy to provide your model or models to whatever level you like and you can review and adjust them to your liking in the free version. Thanks, Jim

Hello, I'd like to suggest Sketchup as your modeling program; the free version does everything you could possibly want and I believe it is the most intuitive and easily learned 3d modeling software available. Also, for just viewing Sketchup models a free viewer is available. There are thousands of free models available - most manufacturers of kithen appliance, bathroom fittings etc are downloadable from manufacturers' websites. Have a look at the "SketchupVideo" channel on YouTube - many tutorials and other useful information; take a look at Nick Sonder's work. Also, there are excellent free rendering programs if you want to create photorealistic renderings of Sketchup models. I could model your complete house, plus your different alternative designs and a couple of revisions for £150 on the basis that altogether this would represent about 12 hour of work. I would also be prepared to answer any questions about using Sketchup to guide you as you go through the learning curve - this would be included in the price.I should add that I am very experienced in Sketchup and this job would be very straightforward for me. Regards, Stu McCabe (Plymouth, England).
