CAD (Computer Aided Design) is used throughout the Interior Design industry and is an extremely useful tool to aid in design and presentation. To the beginner using CAD can be a daunting prospect.
So if you have never used CAD before you may like to ease yourself in gently with a fairly simple program – and there are in fact a number of free programs with excellent capabilities, so you can begin the process at no cost and slowly work up to more complex programs as your skills improve and your confidence increases. As a starting point – and with no implication of specific recommendations from Rhodec – you can browse a “Top 20” list here
