Which part of "I said ARCHICAD not AUTOCAD" was unclear?  I have a builder
friend who does all of his work in some freeware 3D Home Design toy.  If
you're building homes, you need something that will print plans acceptable
by your local planning department, and can quickly show the buyer what
they'll be getting.  You don't need AutoCAD.

Unfortunately, I don't have a clue what's available for Linux.
