/3/ - 3DCG

Just a general rant:
HOLY SHIT, why is FreeCAD so braindead!?! Whoever said that FreeCAD is better than paid programs like actual AutoDesk or Solidworks must have been either super salty with those programs or found some really niche shit that it can do that the others can't. For crying out loud, I can't even make closed geometry on a fucking face. Every time I try to extrude a sketch that was made on a face (which is a pain in the ass in and of itself), you cannot select the closed shape, just the lines of the shape. Then, when you extrude, it literally takes the lines and just the lines, if it even works at all instead of just sinking back into the shape ("reverse direction" doesn't do jack shit). And that little tick box that says "Make solid"? That's a lie. It does nothing.
Oh, but it's got tools. FUCKTONS OF TOOLS! SPLIT BETWEEN 25 DIFFERENT BENCHES! And 8 ways to do the same navigation. Like right-clicking to get a general list of things you can do once you select a part/face (like "Create Sketch")? Well, fuck you! That's how you get the stupid generic shit, like standard views and switching navigation styles. Ignore the view cube in the top left that you can (in a very limited manner) use to change views. And forget about the little button in the corner that lets you choose the navigation style. It's always there in the right-click, where you DON'T NEED IT.
To anyone who can use this program even halfways effectively, I salute you. To anyone who has spent time on any other drafting/modeling program, don't waste your time with this. The UI is shit and makes Sketchup look like a work of art program.
