IMO (as an architect), Blender shines on animations and "non-euclidean shapes" but if you only want to model "euclidean shapes" use Sketchup. Sketchup is for 3D what Ruby is for programming: most 'professionals' despise it, all amateurs and the remaining 'professionals' love it.
However, if you seek the power and speed of a CLI, use Autocad, an Emacs for CAD. Scripting (traditionally) is done with AutoLisp a cousin of ELisp.
- wodenokoto 10y agoI was so sure that Google had stopped developing and releasing Sketchup that I hadn't even thought to re-install it after I got my new computer. Happily surprised to see it still exist!
- samlittlewood 10y agoFun fact - Sketchup has always used Ruby as it's extension language.
