I used Home Designer - https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/products/home-designer-... to draw a house we purchased (built in the 1970s) and the changes we intended to make during a remodel. The person reviewing my permit application was very impressed that I showed up with proper plans and not some kind of sketch done hastily on a napkin.

It definitely tries to think about walls, rooms, windows, floors as they are meant to be modeled. You can even get a materials estimate based on the properties of the wall.




I think a bigger problem with these DIY home design apps is that you have no idea which ones are worth using or not until you've already bought them and then run into a road block they couldn't fix.
