Indeed, Freecad is 3D, which is more suited for "let's design a crank and gear system" than "let's re-design a kitchen", but not sure how you would use autocad to do so.
Afaik, Freecad has an architecture module/plugin.
Normally autocad is used to make top down floorplans, with measurements for almost everything, so that you can build what is drawn, with horizontal detail drawings of those things that require detail drawings of how its constructed, from the bottom of the foundations, to the top of the roofs.
In other words, a drawn detailed description of the job as a whole.
