This is pretty hard. I wasn't looking to attempt an actual bonified blueprint of a house, like some people expect to do with this $95 software. But, I will say it is pretty difficult at this point. I will spend more time with it and hopefully be able to use it, but it will take much patience (which I have never been accused of having).
