Since my related post as a reply in an existing thread https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/welche-software-zur-grundrissplanung-und-modellierung.38470/page-3#post-490468 seems to be too "hidden" to have been seen, I am now trying again with a new thread:
I intend to create a planning tutorial for those who design floor plans themselves but would otherwise get hopelessly tangled up in a puzzle. However, I do not want to do this in the form of a video. Instead, I want to design a small collection of sample houses so that these plans can be adapted by users themselves—directly as a template file. In other words, as if you were starting a project in planning software yourself. Only this way, you don’t sit in front of a blank screen feeling lost, but rather the base material as a pie crust / kit is already there.
The user should not have to "trace" a template draft but receive it pre-made and editable. I want to, for example, demonstrate variants with their respective consequences (changing the knee wall height, adding a Dutch gable, extending a bay window, etc.). For instance, how a Flair 110/113 would look as a detached villa or as a bungalow.
So, a whole house as a template. You should be able to download it and continue working on it. For this, I would preferably like an offline house planning software that is widely used and/or whose file formats can be opened and edited by other house planners. If necessary, an online house planning software would also be acceptable, provided you can invite an unlimited number of other users to share the project with (and that they can work on it without unintentionally altering it for other users).
Of course, in a "volunteer capacity," I cannot create such templates for multiple programs but only for one with as wide a distribution as possible. Which one that would be does not matter to me, as I would have to learn any of them first.
Which house planning software would you recommend for this purpose?

Here is my two cents,
I like the idea of making functional and practically attractive floor plans available. A collection of all well-designed houses is really missing here for inspiration and adaptation to plots and homeowners.
Before our new build and the planning phase, I read almost all the bungalow threads here and searched the internet.
None of them were the right fit.
We ended up building the self-designed floor plan, which was modified by friends, an architect, the main contractor, and others, and did not share it in the forum. For us, it is well-rounded and fits our lifestyle.
We don’t know any 2D/3D software but would have liked to use one alongside pencil and paper for inspiration.

A collection of well-regarded houses is really missing here for inspiration and adaptation to plots and builders. I already provide something like that regularly in the form of reading recommendation links, each time on demand in relation to specific current question threads. I also plan to create a summarized version, but that is a separate project.

In that regard, we must have misunderstood each other, because I only intend—with four examples (detached single-family house and semi-detached or terraced house, each in size categories of approx. 110 and approx. 140 sqm (1,184 and 1,507 sq ft) of living space)—to
a. demonstrate how floor plans can be developed methodically;
b. illustrate the consequences of variations in roof pitch, knee wall height, bay windows, and similar features;
c. reshape popular standard models while keeping the usable volume constant, from country house to townhouse or bungalow.
My “learning goal” for users is not to train them to become expert architects. In just seven days, only Frank´N Furter could manage that, and that’s not who I am. I am a commercial engineer and specialist journalist who, as a child, found the profession of architect cooler than astronaut, who ended up in a factory for aluminum windows almost by chance like a corporate consultant, and who professionally works in project consulting and tenders. My aim is to show complete planning novices alternative approaches to avoid getting stuck in the typical square, symmetrical Tetris-like layouts.
In this forum’s emergency room, many people end up who—depending on their temperament more like a bull staring at a mountain or a rabbit facing a snake—are confronted with the problem of not being able to satisfactorily resolve the gap between their preferred combination of number of floors and roof style and the one allowed by their building permit/planning permission. For them, it would already be enough to bring the “must-have” and “may-have” parts better in line than the general contractor’s draftsman. Nothing more is at stake for these people—and while I try to be helpful, I also need to make sure not to provide chief physician treatment to patients on basic care ;-)
