Naturally, there are hacked copies, but how safe to download them is difficult.
Program for laying tiles in 3D tile 6.0
The program in the current version is good: even a trimmed home version allows you to create volumetric projects (3D) and receive calculations on the necessary materials (except for the whole and risen tile, the amount of glue and grouts for seams). What else can she:
- Consider door and window openings, columns, arches and other curvilinear surfaces.
- It is possible to make new tiles in the directory, save them for further use.
- Tiles can be installed and off at any angle.
- You can add volumetric images of other objects (bath, shower, etc.), setting their coordinates.
- The program makes it possible to calculate the tiles and consumables, but in the "home" version, you cannot withdraw them to print, but you can write off the screen or screenshot and print as an image, not a table.
In addition, you can change the degree of illumination, gloss and tile relief. All these settings can be done for each individual object.

- Creating premises of any configuration on exact dimensions, including attic;
- Easy drawing of niches, shelves, protrusions, boxes of any configuration;
- The ability to create a contour of the tile of any shape (polygonal, rounded, etc.);
- drawing columns and their finishes;
- preservation of laying patterns of any complexity;
- Replacing the contours and size of the premises with the preservation of layouts;
- the ability to create stairs and their design with tiles;

Compass-3D LT
This is a free version of the professional program for the surround design of various objects and details created by the Russian Askon company. So this is not only a program for laying tiles. This is only one small part of it. The version of the Compass-3D LT is familiarizing, allows you to master the volume modeling and planning. Complete with the program are learning materials - video and graphic examples.
For volumetric modeling, including you can also do the interiors and lay the tile
Compass 3D in a lightweight version has a very trimmed functionality, but for the layout of the tile it is more than enough. To plan the tile layout during installation, the package with a construction configuration is loaded (there is still mechanical engineering). For the basic and construction package, about 3.5 GB of memory will be required on the disk.
With this program you can:
- Make a plan plan;
- Develop the design of the room using various finishing materials and evaluate the result in the form of a threefold image;
- Develop unique decor items and get their drawings;
- After completing the project, get drawings indicating the size.
In general, the program is multifunctional even in the free option. At the same time, you can master the design of the design in 3D.
Simple Program for laying tiles without special effects - Arkulator 7
If you do not need a surround image, but you need to see exactly the layout, and even calculate the amount of material without errors, pay attention to the program arquer 7. It is intended for calculating materials for interior finishing works. That is, with its help you can accurately determine the required amount of tiles, wallpaper, laminate, etc. It is also possible to calculate the number of materials on ventilated facades. Pleasant Surprise: This program for laying tiles (and not only) is free.
Unmistakably calculate the number of tiles after layouts in the program can arrange 7.0

He will learn to not work is not a problem even for not the most "advanced" user. The interface is understandable, the requirements for the computer are very modest, it takes less than 1 MB on the disk. Excellent option if only layout is needed, and not design with design with plumbing, furniture, etc.
What else can you work with
In addition to specialized programs, there are a lot of software intended for planning other objects, but in which there are sections for laying tiles. If you have experience in one of them, it will be easier to work with a familiar interface than to develop a new one. Here are some general construction or furniture programs in which the tile can be drawn.- Avtocad (AutoCAD) - a generalized program with a wide functionality (there is 2D and 3 D).
- Nanocad is an analogue described above, but the development of Russian. Basic version is free.
- PRO100 (PRO100). The program is designed to develop furniture, but there is a solid partition for designing the layout of the tile, laminate, wallpaper. Many say that it is easier to work in it than in the autocadus.
- SketchUp is a program for design of premises and furniture, there is a section for tile, but the functionality is not enough, and it is difficult to work. In addition, it is necessary to manually recalculate the quantity since the error is not uncommon.
Of course, this is not a specialized software and work is not so comfortable with them. But if they have already worked in other sections, it will be easier to understand and faster than learn design in the new program.
Online tile layout programs
Most large online stores selling tiles or manufacturers provide an opportunity for free online to create your own project. The peculiarity is that it is mainly possible to work only with those collections that are on the resource. Make your own data in such programs.
They work on the principle of browser games - download and install them are not necessary. Work through the browser on the campaign resource. Project creation standard: choose or draw a room plan for which you need to create a layout of the tile, choose a collection (from those on the site), then create a layout. According to the results, a statement is usually formed: how many tiles are needed, you can also print or save the layout that you made in the form of a sweep on the walls.
