I used SweetHome3D + Gimp to recreate my whole home!

Lots of measuring and downloading textures and models, but I finally have a digital 'clone' of my home!

The lights all react to changes in color and brightness, and are clickable. I made the buttons transparent so it looks cleaner.

Thermostat is in the center, if clicked it opens the thermostat options. The background glow of the temperature turns blue when cooling and red when heating (black when idle)

My 3D Printer can be turned on by clicking on it too, plus it shows the current progress if it is running.

I'd love to see other people's floorplans for ideas, comment with a pic if you have one set up!

Does sweethome allow you to make plans in 2D?

I think what you're after isn't technically 2D vs 3D but 'Perspective View' vs 'Orthographic View' (but tl;dr: no).

Perspective view emulates your vision, but orthographic is what you would use for engineering / architecture drawings. Looking top down like this, for instance, in perspective view you can see both the top of the wall and the bottom of the wall (what's shown), but in orthographic view those would appear as a single line like in architecture drawings.

All that being said, I don't think Sweet Home 3D can do orthographic views, though don't have it in front of me to check.

Yes! That’s exactly what I meant. I simply do not like the 3D look for these purposes.
