Thread: I didn't know where to put this.

I am looking for a completely free cad type program where I can layout my room designs for my 2011 garage haunt. I want it to be pretty basic and upfront. A few years ago I used one but can't remember what it was called. I really really appreciate your help. Thanks everyone!!

Google sketchup comes to mind

Yep, I second Google Sketch-up: http://sketchup.google.com/

Went to a class put on by Universal Halloween Horror Nights. They use it too. Best thing about it?....FREE!

I've used google sketchup a ton too. Simple program, easy to pick up.

Yeah, I'm loving this program. However I don't think that I'm patient enough to do complete 3-d designs. Does anyone have any work that they did on google sketch that they would like to share. I do have the basic layout part figured out. Looking forward to possibly seeing what some people have done on this program. Thanks again everyone.

I still haven't gotten around to Sketch-upping my haunt (I NEED TOO!) but this video looks really helpful:

Here's another video showing someone's yard haunt in Sketch-up.

Yeah I've been using Google Sketch up as well, you can do exact measurements, just take a little time put in, but works out well.
