google sketch up is online for free. Short of that, buy some paper and and pencil. Neither won't break the bank.
Librecad is free
Librecad is a free open source cad program. I use it for simple tasks, but it is very capable. I did find it exasperating to learn, there is no manual or help within the program, but there is a lot of information online. Some functions are not intuitive such as copy and move.
Maybe I only think in 2 dimensions, but I never could draw anything in sketchup. I think librecad would be better for producing floorplans, and sketchup would be better for visualization.
