How do you use AutoCAD for construction? I was watching the show Income Property and a question on the website asks which software he uses:

He states he uses AutoCAD, but as a AutoCAD user I am not sure how he gets the visuals he shows to clients. As well AutoCAD does not seem like the best software for this, is it a vertical product that he actually uses? His plans are animated using another company, which software would they use?
I can draft out a floor plan in 2D, but getting the 3D design is where all the questions are:
- Where do you find models for all the cupboards/flooring/appliances/ etc. Do you have to draft them all from scratch?
- How do you apply paint / floor / etc textures? Is there a library for this?
From all the searching I have done I always end up at custom software that is limited and not very detailed for doing house layouts. Does anyone have any tips or information on how I would use AutoCAD or one of the verticals to do a room layout and then visualize it with a decent amount of realism?
