As with Julian, I think my suggestions may not be 'quite right', but nonetheless could be useful. Seeing Room Arranger reminded me of a program that looks rather similar - Sweet Home 3D. It is free (libre) software under the GPL, rather than Room Arranger's proprietary licence. Other than that it appears almost identical in use! http://www.sweethome3d.com/ If you need something more precise and flexible (and more suited for construction rather than general design), I should try OpenSCAD or FreeCAD. Neither are 'user-friendly' (ie. you'll likely need to learn how to use them), but are very accurate 3D modelling tools with parametric features. The final result won't look pretty, as it's all basic shading, but you can export the result to Blender if you need an artists-impression style aesthetic. I am not too familiar with FreeCAD, but for OpenSCAD you can define a plank with a specific size and reuse that object anywhere in the design. Or, you can make a generic plank object that takes parameters and create objects that derive from that base model. http://www.openscad.org/ and https://www.freecadweb.org/ Best wishes from Sebastian Freenode: 'seabass' -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dcglug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
