Re: [libreoffice-users] LO Draw Newbie

Hello Vince

If your needs go beyond basic 2D drafting, I would suggest looking at 
SweetHome3D.

*Sweet Home 3D* is a free interior design application
which helps you draw the plan of your house, arrange furniture on it and 
visit the results in 3D.

Hope this helps.
