shop/barn floor plans help

[TexasRider128]

I am wanting to build on to my barn I currently have already and need to find a computer website or some software that can help me design the barn/shop to scale. I already have the areas built for my animals (pig pen, chicken pen, horse stalls will be added) but I am wanting to add on a 30 x 40 pole barn and build most of it myself. I want to add a bathroom under some stairs and want to plumb it before pouring the slab. I'm not having any luck searching this forum, could someone point me to a website where I can make my own floor plans to scale, or give advice for plumbing in a toilet before pouring concrete? thanks in advance.

This!!

Its free and easy to use. I have been watching videos for a couple of nights now and went from never used it to can make basic stuff with it already. I love the fact I can make a mistake and instantly fix it or change something on the fly. Just not something you can easily do on paper.

I would source out a pad of some 11x17 graph paper and setup a scale that maximizes the paper's area yet is easy to think thru. Iow biggest drawing that can fit the paper. Multiple sheets in the pad for revisions or new ideas.

If you like learning software and value the electronic versions then I would proceed as recommended.
