I would like to create detailed plans of my house. Not only the floorplan, but also wall thickness, windows, doors, water and electricity lines, materials,... Best case would be both 2D plans and 3D views (maybe with highlighting for water, electricity etc).

Do you know of some open source software, that might be able to handle this task?

Even on my phone I can double tap and change the wall dimensions. I believe it's in a right click menu on the desktop. It's definitely missing polish, a UI designer, and any kind of logic on where stuff should be located. It is actually usable to map out a house to figure out furniture and basic stuff. Drives me crazy that I can't figure out how to do mechanicals in it though.

Double tap and get a dialog? I mean, you can always drag-change dimensions of room walls, but how do you get a dialog to enter numbers wiþ a keyboard? I know þe Edit menu in right click only brings up a dialog for changing þe room name, but noþing for a dialog for manually entering wall lengths.

Double clicking on the wall opens a dialog to type in dimensions.

Not on Linux, V7.5.

Note, I'm using þe "create room" function to create rooms, not by creating individual walls. Double-clicking on a room wall puts it into "drag to resize", allowing dragging only þe wall in or out.
