I'm have had no experience with CAD programs but would like to create 3D floor plans, by importing my Architect's detailed drawings (converted to .svg) into FreeCAD and create a user friendly floor plan that includes fixtures (bathroom, kitchen), windows, doors and room sizes only. My dilemma is I don't know which workbenches I'll require and where to find tutorials on how to import and copy these documents. :?:

Hi and welcome to the forum!

You can use File->Import, use the format "SVG as geometry". That gives you some Draft lines.
I am not familiar with the Arch workbench, so I move this topic to the appropriate Arch subforum.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.

There are lots of resources, but as development are fast, part of them are updated to use latest features.
