Using AutoCAD for renovations / interior design

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?
