alt Hacker News>> I kinda wish blender could just do CAD honestly
Have you tried the "CAD sketcher" add-on? I think Blender should have similar functionality built-in, but for now this looks like a nice add-on.
Blender is a very very long way from being used as a general purpose CAD tool, and IMHO it should not strive to be that. But having this ability to do simple CAD designs without opening and learning a different program is cool.
That's my opinion but I think that game/cinema/whatever 3D modeling should lean more and more toward CAD like workflow.
If we want to bring those medium to the next level.
