For folks who want a regular (not low-poly) modeler which is a small/light-weight download, Dune 3D seems the best thing to try: Previous discussions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37979758 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40228068 The other notable thing to try is Solvespace or maybe NASA's Open Vehicle SketchPad (for opensource) | |||||||||||||||||

I wish the guy behind Dune3d had joined Solvespace development instead. His GTK4 UI on all platforms would have been nice. I'm hoping to address some of the solvespace shortcomings in 2025, but he really needed assembly with STEP files which I don't see happening soon. | |||||||||||||||||

I don't think there's overlap despite picoCAD having the word "CAD" in its name. Just compare its examples with dune3d's real world circuit board example to see the difference: https://picocad.net/ Better comparisons would be Crocotile and maybe Blockbench. Not CAD software. | |||||||||||||||||
