What software are you using these days? I downloaded Autodesk Inventor Fusion and haven’t spent much time with it. But I’m always looking for a better modeling program.

I don’t use Sketchup as much as I used to, but it’s always a recommendation I give to people interested in learning 3D modeling.

OpenSCAD has been on my long list of things to learn. Now that customizer is here, I’m moving openscad to the top of my list and this info is great for getting started.

Looks like I should give it another look!

Looks like you can do some pretty amazing things with it!

I’ve correct the post and included a link back to your plugin page on Sketchucation, Thanks for all the great plugins you’ve given to the community, they’ve really changed the way I use SketchUp for the better.

But it makes use of Fredo’s update engine in his LibFredo library. ;)
