freeCAD is brep based and scriptable.
- embedding-shape 9mo agoFreeCAD via AstoCAD (https://www.astocad.com/ https://www.astocad.com/ - 4€/month) is quite more user friendly too, compared to the vanilla experience, for those who want to do CAD sometimes and forget things between uses. It's made by FreeCAD contributors who push things upstream too.
- nickserv 9mo agoEh. Since the 1.0 release of freeCAD, the UI has been greatly improved. Also subscription services are inherently a turn off.
- embedding-shape 9mo agoI see it as a donation to developer who work on FreeCAD, not a "subscription service", just a different way of funding FOSS. I'd agree that FreeCAD's UI isn't horrible, but it is a lot to take in at a first glance, and for people who don't use it frequently. If I was using it daily, I'd probably prefer FreeCAD as-is too, better feature density and everything at a glance.
