Next, you can design your structure. Using 3D Home Architect is pretty straight forward and easy to use. You can select the different elements of the building, such as the walls, windows and doors, and draw them out on a "palette." You can add the roof after deciding the pitch of the roof and the wall height and length. Additionally, you can add furniture. Once you have finished your design, make sure to save a copy to your computer so that you do not lose your information or your design.

Finally, once your design is complete you can print out your plans. You can purchase special carbon paper that can be used in your printer, or you can just print the blueprints right onto regular printing paper. If your county requires an architectural stamp in order to build, simply save your design to a disc and take it to a local architect. They can print you off a copy and stamp it for you, after giving it a quick review to make sure the building design is sound.
