RE: FreeCad

For floor planning you would be better off using SweetHome3D which allows you to draw a floor plan and place objects walls surfaces and texture and visualise it in 3D

Their Channel

Sweet Home 3D for beginners

You can easily knock up shapes and objects either in Wings3D

or even Google’s Blocks.

How to build with google blocks

And then import them as furniture into SweetHiome3D

FreeCad Is very sophisticated and a parametric modelling program so it needs a programming mindset as you are , describing a model rather than shaping it.

But a very short simple first tutorial can be found here:

Have fun!

Thanks, @veritanuda and @Definitive_Linux I will look into those options. I’ve gotten busy enough (sorry it took me so long to respond here) that I haven’t even played with FreeCAD more. However, the new guinea pig cage is built!
