This does not answer your question re a Linux
home modelling packgages, but what you want sounds
like a product called "3D Architect, version 4.0
which I purchased at Compusa in Nashua a couple of
months ago and finally started using last week...
(I run it on my Windoze 98 HP Pavillion box...)
I, too would like to have a package with slightly
more functionality than 3D-Architect v4.0 that
I could run on my Linux boxes, but alas I have no
such package in the Linux universe...

Subject: home construction/remodeling packages
Are there Linux software packages available
to help with home construction/remodeling?
Having never used such software I'm not even
completely sure what I'm asking for, but I'd
think such a package would at least (and I'm
talking about something more than xfig) help
you lay out a floorplan. Fancier ones might
provide some CAD assistance, perhaps even
allowing you to model the entire structure
right down to the studs and wiring and maybe
even generating a materials list for the
project. A *really* cool package might even
let you model the entire structure in 3D and
allow you to move individual components on
a what-if basis, etc, etc, etc...
