    A chair might be a chair, but you might find you want an end table, or a slightly more stable table with more space. I’m a substance over style kind of person, and sometimes you just need a place for stuff, bonus points if it looks good to your eyes.

        Don’t assume you know what I like or don’t like!!

        Jk ;) I think I can already decently do function and comfort, it’s theming and aesthetics that’s difficult to me. As I’m one of these people.

          I took up learning some sketchup when we moved into our place. Just basic top down 2d drawings.

          I went around the house with some grid paper and tape measurer and made a outline of all the rooms then recreated it in sketchup, then drew a box for each furniture and moved them around the area until we found something we liked. And gave the most open space

            That’s a fine idea. I was going to make a floorplan, might as well do a simplified 3d model.

            Did you also use it to test out colors? Or is sketchup not a great tool for that?

              Yeah it gets deep, I eventually made it 3d as I learned more but to start i just wanted to be able to use the line too, click and point it towards a direction and type in the measurement.

              Later I got fancy raising the walls up and adding textures like wood floor and windows etc in the downloads someone even created the network switch and router I use so I started planning my server rack.

              I used the free 2017 version since I could use my PC resources and not rely on the cloud or subscription
