THE DEM DEFENDER HAS LOGGED ON
I want to design a greenhouse for my backyard. I used Sketchup for our kitchen remodel in 2019-2020 but having a hard time getting it to... do what I want? for this project. Is there a better program that's more turnkey and free/free trial I should check out, that's easy for morons and idiots like me to use? Don't really need exact dimensions, just layout/design that I can translate to the real world/generate ideas etc. Is Revit on a free trial a good choice, or is the learning curve very steep?

What are you planning on making it out of? Checking to see if the relevant profile is included in any tools I have on hand might be handy.

Onshape is free and good. The Frames feature should be exactly what you need. The blog post below has a little video to show how it works, and they’ve got a link to the Frames elearning course in it. I’d probably check out the regular fundamentals first, but I’m not your dad:

Currently, about a 3ft cinder block footer (possibly with brick facade) and then wood stick a-frame on top. With polycarbonate walls/roof. 15ftx30ft or so structure. Will check this out, thanks!
