Will this be suitable to do 2D architecture stuff? I was about to buy Bricscad, how does this compare?

    I haven't used it for that extensively, but it has different "workbenches" for different purposes and I've of those is archipack for architecture. If you give it a shot let me know how it goes since I do need to plan out some home reno work myself.

    The Arch workbench is now the BIM workbench. And you need quite a lot of tutorials and patience to work everything out. But after a few hours/days/weeks of frustration it feels like it's worth it, because you actually own your data.

    Don't hesitate to ask/search in the FreeCAD-Forum, they are very helpful.
