Hello,
Who knows if there is an easy-to-use drawing software that could draw round houses or bubbles?
I started to discover Sketchup but couldn't find a way to create round walls.
Maybe it doesn't exist?

Configuration: Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) / Firefox 18.0

    Hi
    you can create round walls with SketchUp and then assemble the different models with another software
    https://www.cjoint.com/c/CBdsusv8O7N
    And if you want, here is a tutorial to create a half-sphere that you can invert to make a bubble house

    Hello,

    You have a free software called Blender for 3D modeling. Well, it's in English and quite hard to master at first, but you'll find plenty of tutorials online; curved walls will hold no secrets for you!

    Hoping to have helped you,
    Noélie.

    Thank you Noélie, I'm not very good at English, it's been a long time in my life but I'll see if I can download it on Mac
    Nice of you to be so responsive.
