Hi, weird question. what program do you use for making the floorplans..?
i love what you do btw keep going pls you inspire me
Thank you~
Not a weird question, probably a disappointing answer though: I use Paint.
I severely underestimated how involved making floor plans is, even when I thought "I'll make them as basic as possible."
Thanks to Paint's layer feature I can do walls as a separate layer to furniture, and I can save the files with a transparent background, which makes it easier to edit later, as long as I remember, but it does save as a single layer image which can be super frustrating.
I did look briefly at proper floor plan making programs, but my google-fu is weak, so the only thing I could find was some "design your dream home" websites that didn't do at all what I needed, or iirc, programs that cost a significant (more than zero) amount of money, and for what I'm doing it just didn't feel worth it.
Paint is also what I use to make the compiled image pictures. Because, again, the layer feature means I don't have to worry about screwing up the alignment by a pixel or cropping shadowed frame edges.
I do have to guesstimate a little with the rulers, because they shift slightly when I zoom or scroll, same with the grid lines.
That said: if anyone does know of a good free use program for making floor plans, pretty please send it my way?! 🙏🥺
Edit: At @sunshine-mrk's suggestion I've downloaded LibreCAD, cross your fingers everyone.
