Glad you're finding it useful.
I did the same sort of thing using Inkscapes edge detection with a plan of a 
maze and got a reasonable result in minutes.

I've written up the technique for doing floor plans and intend to put it up 
on an Internet site soon. I've written some macros that add windows, doors, 
lights and stuff so I'll post them too.
