I'm starting to get more interested in building more complex things, but am unsure how to plan out my ideas. Is there a good source on drafting/planning designs? I honestly have no idea where to start.

I've used sketchup in the past, and it works great, but for more recent projects I've moved over to blender.

I don't go into crazy details for projects, so mainly I just need real world measurements and units, and the ability for my wife to be able to visualize the project as a whole. She usually designs everything and I just make it work.
