Easiest to use architecture software for Mac?

[waloshin]

I need to design a basement with walls and doors, plugins ect and I was wondering what is the best and easiest software for this?

Thanks

Sweet Home 3D hits the spot 3 ways - good software, easy to use, and free. It's open source, is updated regularly, and gets used by several architects I know and work with. About 100k downloads each week can't be too wrong. I've used it for finished product on Windows, Linux, and ML/Mavericks. It's on two of my Macs.

If you need or want something else, query the guys over at architosh.com...

I had to click on this thread just to see what the heck "articture" was.....you might get more hits if you spelled architecture correctly in the thread title.

Just wanted to give a strong +1 for Sweet Home 3D. We are building a new home. Of course the architect is providing us with official drawings and renders. We use this to change furniture, textures, lights and such to get a feel for things before we commit. Really amazing quality for free software. An hour after downloading it I had the ground floor walls, windows and doors setup and was fooling around with positioning the 75” TV I hope to get. Kudos to everyone who helped make this app.
