Are you also wanting this program to build the stool for you when the design is done?

Honestly you're asking too much from a generic CAD program. Giant furniture company's (and others) spend a whole hell of a lot of money developing their own proprietary software to do exactly what you're asking. Why would they do that if there was an off the shelf program that would do it for them.

And for the record, a 2x4x8 feet is exactly 1.5"x3.5"x96". a stud length 2x4 is 1.5"x3.5"x92 5/8" so that when you add the two top plates and single bottom plate it becomes 97 1/8", then you subtract 5/8" drywall ceiling which leaves exactly 96 1/2" clear between top of floor sheathing and underside of ceiling drywall allowing you to use full 8 foot sheets of drywall for the wall with a 1/2" gap at the bottom for expansion.
