Any free software that can do building drawings (floorplans, dimensions etc) along the same lines of chief architect. I've seen the price of that so don't think there will be anything for free out there, but I live in hope :-)

Thanks In Advance

For those kinds of things, I always check ...
www.sourceforge.net
you can search that site, and most of it is free.

The program can be used not only for designing rooms or apartments, but
also in the variety of other areas - garden architecture, housing
development (houses as objects), webdesign (webpage as the room)...

You sometimes reconstruct rooms or rearrange things placed in them. You
move heavy furniture just to see if everything will fit with no problem,
be handy, if it could be done without all the work. This program enables
you to simulate everything with no need to draw on a square paper, or to
push things there and back repeatedly.

Features:
- Design your room, or entire appartment consisting of more rooms
- Wide standard object library, insert exact objects' dimensions
- Create your library of objects you use more often (e.g. your typical
window, chair)
- Walk through the project in 3D
- Print the project in certain scale even over more pages
- Measure the distances in the project
- Multi-language support.
