Join an open source community that is welcoming to newcomers (e.g., BRL-CAD, Haiku OS, OSGeo, ..) and work on a little bit of code every day. It can be a simple feature, specific bug, or something new you want to achieve. Many open source groups are very welcoming to newcomers if you do the work and ask smart questions.

You could also try out free AutoCAD alternatives like libreCAD (2D), or brlCAD (2D&3D, I believe). Source: about 1 year ago
So, uh ... Learning curve. If you want anything and everything under the sun, go with BRL-CAD. It was designed for ballistics testing and simulation, but it can do pretty much anything. The learning curve for BRL-CAD is immense. Otherwise, I recommend OpenSCAD. Source: about 1 year ago
It’s not for iPad (don’t think) but we used this on a MacBook Air and it was really useful http://sweethome3d.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
Sweet Home 3D is a good one. Free, and it's got a web-based version Sweet Home 3D. Source: about 2 years ago
I like http://sweethome3d.com/ for testing single floor layouts. It's not photo realistic, but it's not cartoon either. Very simple to use. Source: over 2 years ago

I found http://sweethome3d.com/ which is free/open source. It’s been useful for playing with layouts if you’re happy to just use boxes for some items as there isn’t a huge library of furniture. You can import textures, model, but for the most part I’ve just cared to check the layout is sane and not to get a pretty render. Source: over 2 years ago
