Good Morning,

Graphisoft offers demo and trial versions of their architecture software "Archicad" that cost nothing. There is also a student version. However, you have to apply for this separately and prove that you are studying architecture or a related field (engineering, urban planning, possibly something like sustainability). Maybe you know someone who's going to question it. Such a student license can do almost everything the full version can. It should not be used for commercial purposes only.

The trial version can be found here: https://graphisoft.com/de/archicad-nowtesten?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAouG5BhDBARIsAOc08RQ5f4B7-tDNwsCLiheXIzXPjXwuylTjaqnYfRwIcjjTd_WqSSPl0

Archicad is also very welcome. A room with floor, doors, windows and roof has been quickly drawn. With a few YouTube tutorials you can also quickly assemble more complex structures in 3D, and then even throw them into plans and print. You can also easily create renderings in 3D and simulate the built in images in high qualities. You can then even export the 3D model from Archicad and refine it in other programs, turn films from the virtual building, and so on.

Greetings

Archicad is too complex for lay people

With a few basic tutorials it is as easy to construct a house there as in Sims. You just need to know where the button is.

It is clear that you are not the fastest, and of course you do not get everything right.

Other programs are very much too much to use.

I find Archicad comparable to programs like MS-Word or MS-Excel.
