1. I use 3D Home Architect. I bought it May 2006 to design plans for Fire rebuild of my house because I needed to submit plans for permits. Not an easy learning curve but very effective. Think I spent ~$100 at CompUSA. You can move the 3D cameras anywhere and add to the database of fixtures/furniture/etc and/or custom edit most everything. I ended up doing 4 more sets of plans for my friends' projects.
2. Try Sketchup: http://sketchup.google.com/ Easy to learn--I've used it for deck design and planning remodeling projects at my house. You can view the house from any angle, including beneath and above. My son used it to try out various ways of rearranging the furniture in his dorm room.
