I just have to plug Chief Architect for their awesome demo. This link will show you everything that can be done with Chief Architect X, which basically is showing you what is state-of-the-art in the field of 3D design. But this series of videos is more than that, it is a fine example of high-tech, clean, media-based web presentation. But it is more than that still, this demo is so well laid out and informative, you would be able to start using their software out of the box and use about every feature quick and like a pro just from this one link... It is a big demo, but it is laid out so nicely, you can watch a few minutes worth and pick up later or skip subjects, etc.

Ok, so you love it, but it is just too much for you... Presto! This company makes a scaled down version of this software you can get for between $100 & $150 under the Better Homes and Gardens label:

The products on this page have video demos too.
I have used both of these programs to design the graphics for my house in my vCrib setup. Unfortunately I have only used older versions or demos and had no training at the time. My house is also semi-complex split level design that gave me some trouble, but I highly recommend these products.
Enjoy the content and hope it inspires a few people to upgrade their floorplans =)
