What's your experience with FreeCAD? I've tried to use it multiple times for architectural stuff or 3D printing and never managed to put together anything usable.

I switched to Sweet Home 3D for the architectural stuff and DesignSpark Mechanical (sadly no Linux version) for 3D printing stuff.

Have you tried FreeCAD since release 1.0 came out? It has a much improved user interface. I had some trouble with importing files pre-1.0, but on new projects it is much more usable. They are inching closer to SolidWorks, but still a while to go. I would love to see collab/versioning tools in FreeCAD because you have to pay a whole other fee for that in SolidWorks and git isn't great for binaries (I use git-LFS).

Huh. No I've not used FreeCAD since 1.0, guess I need to have another look.
