(F)OSS 2D floor planner (sh.itjust.works)

I’m just looking for a simple 2D floor planner that is easy to use and has the ability to show measurements.

The two most recommended open source tools I’ve seen have shortcomings.

Sweet Home 3D:

  • Very 3D centric, which over complicates things.
  • Project was recently acquired/handed off to a company and the iOS version is published by “AI Photo Editor Lab SRL”

draw.io / diagrams.net:

  • Very finicky to set up and create floor plans
  • To display measurements one has to add measurement objects to every wall/object

Does anyone have other recommendations?

I tried draw.io for a similar task and, while it worked alright, I agree that it's a bit too much work to set up nicely

There are also some CAD tools that are FOSS. Maybe some of those can help?

Thats a great idea. Theres lots of Foss cad tools, and Im sure they have plenty of flexibility even when contrained to 2d.
