Hate to say it but when I designed my loft conversion although I started out in PowerPoint, it was easier to buy a pad of graph paper and use that - far more effective and you know it is to scale and accurate...

If the task is relatively straighforward using the PC may not be the simplest way - the good old pencil and paper may be easier. Technology can sometimes be overkill!!
