 Cage design?

Does anyone know if there is a good program out there to help design cages? It oesnt have to be great I am just terrable at drawing and would like to get an Idea on "paper" before I start building my newest cage system. Im thinking stackable melomine boxes? Free programs are prefered lol

Also if anyone has ideas how to heat melomine boxes that would be great too. I use heat bulbs now but Im looking to see if there are alternatives.

Thanks!

As for heating you have basically three options that I can think of off the top of my head. Heat Tape/Pads ( require some floor modifications),Bulbs (require a "safety cage"), or Radiant Heat Panels ( no modifications, just more expensive)

You might look into a CAD program for the computer, I have done quite a few designs with Design CAD.
I’m sure there’s a CAD with all you need that’s a decent price, or maybe even free.

Good luck,
