Looking for a software which I can use for designing furniture. One with blocks such as for doors, drawers, etc. I have 4 levels of Auto Cad but can’t find a 3d program specifically for furniture etc.

You might be able to find doors, etc., drawings online or through one of the user groups. Try a Google search for autocad blocks.
But it shouldn't be too difficult to draw up your own, and then use them as blocks on future projects. Depending on which version of Autocad you have, the new dynamic blocks would be well suited for designing components such as doors and drawers. For instance; you could set up the door block to allow the height and width, stile width, and rail height to all be dynamic. When you insert it into the drawing, it then asks you to specify the dimensions, and adjusts the block accordingly.
thanks for the tip
Sketchup works well
Thankyou
