Re: [gentoo-user] Home Improvement Software?
Yea, I've got cycas, qcad and lignumcad installed but haven't had the opp. to sit down and learn any of them. Plus, I don't have the blueprints to my house so it would take time to actually recreate the house accurately in a CAD package. I was thinking of just using gimp as it would be simpler but then I would have to find images of plants, fencing and such. another possibility might be dia. It is a diagramming tool, but it would be better than gimp for your purpose. You can make libraries of special symbols. In fact, I think a collection of common architectural symbols would be a nice addition to dia. -- Chris Bare [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] Home Improvement Software?
I've seen some home improvement / landscaping shows on DIY Net, Home and Leisure, etc. where they use software to add features (decks, trees, foliage, grasses, siding, etc.) to a digital picture of a house, yard or garden to get a rough idea of what it would look like if implemented. Does anyone here know of some home improvement / landscaping software for Linux that can do this or at least point me in the correct direction? I'm not looking for large and complicated 3D modeling software because I don't feel like spending years to learn the software just so I can create some simple digital sketches of some home improvement projects.
