Is there a website program that you can make blueprints for you coop?

I do not have any programs for blueprints, are there any out there? Any free ones?

Programs do not make blueprints, people do! As an arch. drafter I can tell you that if you can't draw it on paper and figure out what you need to know there is not a program that will help you. Although... figuring angles for cutting is much easier in CAD than by hand!

I'm sure that there are pre-made blueprints you can find or buy cheaply. Any program that you find free or really cheap is going to be exactly what you pay for.

huh... It just seemed like there were... it sure looked like it was a graphic design.

i can do it by hand, I was just wondering if there was a way to do it online...that's all.

Lots of people use Google Sketchup for coop designs:

Yeah, I just uploaded google Sketchup a month or two a go to mess around with. Thanks for the other link though!

I found a cute little program called Smallblueprinter... I haven't worked with it yet, but I will later.. If it is a nice program, I will tell people about it, and give them links.

sketchup is pretty good, and free, but the move tool with its' stretching geometry behavior makes me want to kill someone. specifically someone from the sketchup team obviously.
