Best free or paid Kitchen design application

majid

at the moment am invited to learn a kitchen draw software to woodworkers.
even Sketchup is time consuming for some of them (, while in my sight SU is an smart app and needs intuitive or smart people too )
tried autocad freestyle online ,that is really nice, and if there is any paid version?
what about other , easy to use and understand apps?

My wife is a kitchen and bathroom designer and to get her certifications she used a program called 20/20, which she still uses. According to her it is best for what she needs ( cannot get her to embrace SU) and has been using it for onto 9 years now.

It's certainly not free, but it's very fast once you get the hang of it.

I used this one in the past. Very fast when dealing with rushed customers. It has a pretty decent rendering engine too.

Many many thanks Krisidious!
I love SU and everything that is based on it, but for lots of people, "wall" must be "wall", "Window" must be "Window", etc, and it doesn't make sence for them to draw a face, pull/push it and rename it to wall, .... so they do not understand SU,...
I take a look over all the above links , but none of them is able to compete the Autocad freestyler yet....

Krisidious

Do you think HomeStyler is the replacement?

I hate self promotion. but the reason I designed:

Cabinet Tools Plugin for SketchUp
Component Cabinet Tools Plugin for SketchUp

was because of my dissatisfaction with other programs.
click on my plugins for more information

Also have a look at my newBookShelf Tools which extends the use of Drawers and Doors not only to Bookshelves, but also to the Cabinet Tools Plugin

cheers!
