I would like to create detailed plans of my house. Not only the floorplan, but also wall thickness, windows, doors, water and electricity lines, materials,... Best case would be both 2D plans and 3D views (maybe with highlighting for water, electricity etc).

Do you know of some open source software, that might be able to handle this task?

Yeah, I had thought about this. I already did a floor plan with Sweet Home 3D some years ago, though it didn't seem fit to also handle the detail work like water and electricity lines. Or at least I have not seen functions for that. I will try it with FreeCAD and then see, how it goes
