I want to model my home in 3D, with measurements. What's a good free alternative to autocad for that?

Doesn't have all the functionality that AutoCAD does, and there are some usability issues if you're really comfortable in AutoCAD already, but I imagine FreeCAD [0] would work well for your use case.

I'm particular the BIM workbench is looking pretty slick these days [1]

Blender allows for the use of human units. It also contains engines for physics and lots of videos explaining how to do interesting things, including allowing for Python scripting

Choosing a very popular free platform has benefits (blender.org)
