IMSI's Floorplan 3D is basically an optimized subset of TurboCAD and is
much easier to learn and use, it's also cheap, like $50 or so. It will
do very nice photo realistic renders with lighting sun position based on
location, date and time which is handy as well. What it won't do is full
detail blueprints, but you typically don't need that level of detail for
an addition.
