When I was a kid around 1995, my dad brought home a demo of Chief Architect 4.0 on a floppy disk. It was basically full-featured except you couldn't save any plans.
I had fun drawing 2D house plans. Eventually I discovered through randomly clicking around that there was a button where you could place a camera anywhere and VIEW YOUR HOUSE IN 3D. Incredible. I didn't even own a 3D videogame at that point. The house and all its furniture were untextured but you could select the paint colour.
Look like they still exist[1] and have a consumer-targeted version now as well, called Home Designer.[2] I have no idea whether it's any good.
