Try 3D Home Architect by Broderbund. It's about $50.00.

?. Something that does floor plans should be able to do elevations. You may want to take a look at Microsoft Visio which has a very easy learning curve, is also excellent for wiring diagrams and can also import most AutoCAD drawing if needed.

The 3D does elevations as well as floorplans.
