AUTOCAD by autodesk USA. 2D and 3D drawing can be done with great ease especially if manual drawing is mastered proir to computer drafting application. Even basic background in manual drawing plays an important role in exploring the four corners of Computer Aided Drafting. Here is a screen shot of AUTOCAD 2012 advert with the price of $3,995 which is about 159,000.00 when converted to Philippines peso. If you are going to upgrade, it means another Php159K will be spent. Wow!

Google Sketch-Up a free software and can be downloaded right in an instant. It caters different countries and different languages to choose from. It was what I used for the layout above. But except the grass and the basketball court for these two were from google images.

For 3D modeling Sketch Up Pro can also be purchased for only $495. Cheaper compared to the first one
