    Help me design some fitted wardrobes

    OK have no idea where to post this, but I'm looking for an application (freeware preferably) to help me design some fitted wardrobes for the end of our bedroom.

    I'm going to buy doors from Wickes or somewhere and they have about 1000 different sizes so I want to experiment with how best to design the wardrobes before I buy any of them, so I know what sizes to get. We have a sloping roof that cuts one corner off so the face isn't a big rectangle, which would make it much easier. I'm not so fussed about designing them in 3D, they will have shelves and railings inside but I'll make that up as I go along. I just need to know what doors to get before I start building the frames

    Basically some squared paper and a drawing board would do it, but I don't have either of these and I figure there has to a more technical solution. Thanks in advance!

    BTW I'm playing with Google Sketch-up right now, possibly a bit of 3D overkill and not so easy to work with exact measurements (really needs to be spot-on)

    find some kind of C.A.D. application, I don't know of any free ones off the top of my head, but googling around should pull something up.

    It's well worth using Sketchup to make conceptual mockups.

    You've probably already got a package that can give you accurate plans - Word.

    Just draw shapes and right click format shape, then in the size tab change the height and width, simply converting from cm to mm will probably fit on A4, unless you've got a massive wall.
