Program for designing my studio layout?

I'd like something where I can make a scale design of my studio space and the contents so I can lay things out on screen so I can see how they would all fit. I'm after something as simple as possible, the contents will be little more than basic geometric shapes and I'm not looking to master yet another complex peice of software. Any thoughts on a free program that could do this?

Hi!

Try google Sketchup, this will fit your needs.

I used "3D Home Architect" from Broderbund to come up with some plans for my last studio. It's really cool if you learn how to use it. You can even get it to figure up your rough material costs if you want.

Microsoft Visio 2003 is great ... 3D I don't know ..

Umm. I used a ruler and some notebook paper (a lot of notebook paper) to design my room - there was never a blueprint for construction...
