I loved the idea of FreeCAD but having no experience in CAD software at all I always struggled with fundamental basics that were not covered in the tutorials I watched. The huge amount of work benches (some of them 3rd party) did not help since most forum posts or tutorials were based on different or outdated versions.
Having a go with build123d now, trying to model stuff using python. At least the number of available API functions is manageable and everything else is just programming (which I already know).
For me it's a bit different - just installing things to get build123d to work is an insurmountable obstacle. Because I'm not a programmer it's rage-inducing. But I guess that's how this stuff goes ๐
