I've had good experiences with Home Designer [1]. Used it to mock up how I wanted my basement finished [2] so I could solicit quotes and ended up running around the house measuring rooms so I could model the rest of the house (for fun... didn't really serve a purpose).

Ended up liking it enough that my father decided to use it to design the home he wants to build. He even found a builder who uses the pro version of the software (Chief Architect) so my father could view / tweak the model.

[2] They let you upload a certain number of models to their online viewer here's the basement (note not great on mobile): https://3d-viewer.chiefarchitect.com/go?share=55721013273615...
