I like it... I don't have anything to compare it to though. It's plenty efficient for doing simple shapes. To do more complex 3D operations though it takes knowing of how to string together multiple operations to arrive at the type of shape or surface you want. So that part can be slow to learn. They seem to continually adding new features of the most requested 3d operations though.It has been able to do everything I needed so far except last night when I wanted to sketch the path of my heatpipes across all three axes. It can't do 3d splines. To deal with that, I ended up just making a plane that intersected the desired start and end points on the Z axis. Then i drew a path on the X/Y axes. That will have to be repeated for each bend which needs to change more than two axes...So the usability is pretty good. It has a lot of plugins and integrations such as a CAM plugin, a render plugin, and physics modeling plugins for fluid dynamics or heat.I just tested out the render plugin actually, pretty neat.Unfortunately their subscription model is $100 per user, that is pretty steep for a hobbyist. But they do have a free account at least.
