Are we talking architectural drawing? Thats what i do every day. 3D is not hard if you are good at AutoCAD, you just need to learn a few new commands like extrude, subtract etc. First thing to do is work out the view you want. You don't model the whole building, just the bit you want to see. It takes far too long otherwise. You need to extrude all the walls to give them a height then subtract the window and door openings, then model the window frames etc. There are other ways of doing it, for example constructing a wire frame and applying 3d faces. Then you need to render it which involves selecting materials and getting your lighting sorted out.
I enjoy 3d drawing but it does take a while to get it to look right.
