Yeah its a horrible excuse for a country. It cant exist without stealing other countries oil, much like america in that respect. Its also full of dicks like our own cafeterrace. People that pretend they design museums.

some parts of it i must agree with

What a coincidence, I'd rather you live in Afghanistan than England too.

Rhino and ecotect, but that'll be massive overkill for designing a gezebo. SketchUp is easily the best bet, it's not like you need to put in plumbing or insulation or anything. You really don't need complicated software, if any at all.

never use or heard of the above 2 softwares..

maybe take terrace's advice and check out sketchup..

He's right, Rhino/3dsMax/Revit/Ecotect e.t.c. are overkill for a simple gazebo and have a far sharper learning curve.

SketchUp's formidable, and learning it is pretty intuitive, though easier if you have someone tech-savvy around (even if they've never used the program before).

If you get around to it you could always upload images for help/feedback.

Technically it's Trimble SketchUp now, the weblink remains to avoid confusion.

Show it to your son, he'd might find some use for it. Oh, and if anything, learn how to use the middle mouse button in combination with shift and/or ctrl to navigate.
