took me about an hour to do it in Microsoft Visio. It is pretty good for doing simple but many different things.

I have used RoomSketcher.

It is free and is easy enough to use. It has a limited range of furniture and then you can take "Virtual Photos" from anywhere in the house.
EDIT = Video Tutorials are available here

Google Sketchup is also very good and free.

Yes it is.
They are displayed on the screen - but don't seem to have copied across - when I save to file they are not there.
The software is pretty good in terms of playing around with floor coverings, tiles, paints, furniture etc and then doing a 3D walk through.
But then again - I'm easily impressed by that stuff.
The video tutorials made things much easier - I looked at Google Sketch for a few minutes but the tutorial with Roomsketcher made it look easier.
There are versions you pay for - so they probably hold stuff back for that.
They give you the "Pro" features for free for the first 8 hours only.
I suspect we will be upgrading as we get a little more into things.

I eventually settled on Google Sketchup with a Diabac plugin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvyArqrU_2Q
Its brilliant. With sketch up, you can import 3D terrain from Google Maps & paste a picture of google earth on it, trace all the buildings & pull up to size. Great for mapping out surrounding properties etc.
