Spex+ and Spex World alternatives

[LeightonJames]

 

Hi all

 

I was asked last week to install this amazing piece of software on the network.

 

The software is over a decade old and would more than likely not run on Windows 10. The school are unable to locate the licence keys and as such even if I could install it, I couldn't license it.

 

Here's the kicker. They have asked me if it is possible to source something that does the same thing.

 

This is the homepage for the software (the company don't actually exist/produce the software anymore either) - https://web.archive.org/web/20100327183159/http://www.aspexsoftware.com:80/spex.htm

 

Extract briefly describing it's key features:

"We don't market spex as just a 3D room designer though, rather, the room 'interior design' aspect of Spex is a cover story to get children to grapple with simple 3D design, using a budget, simple spreadsheet modeling, dimensions, mapping and much more."

 

Anyone know of any software that does the same thing that is:

 

A - Child friendly

B - Free/cheap

C - Contains all of the same features listed in the extract?

Oddly enough the Ikea Room Designer/Planner used to cover this quite well and used heavily round here for that part of the curriculum. Could be worth a look if it still works on w10...
