Factory or Warehouse Design?

Has anyone used Sweet Home 3D to design a small factory or warehouse? I'm exploring options (various 3D software) in hopes of finding something that will make it relatively easy.

Suggestions for other software that might do this are welcome, too, as long as that doesn't violate forum rules, of ...

Re: Textures of the world

That lighting is amazing. Are there any tutorials on the finer points? I've been doing 3D since forever and my stuff always looks like cartoons.
