My current use case right now is designing tiles and a set for a ttrpg campaign, so currently more the latter. As far as I’m aware though you can do some of the former it’s just that it’s not exactly the workflow you’d be used to. Precision isn’t the issue so much as having history I suppose. Just means you have to plan out your design a lot more ahead of time. I’ve tried some of the code based stuff like build123d since I’m a programmer and the like but frankly they never made much sense to me, although perhaps that’s the way it uses Python more than anything else. Admittedly I didn’t spent a whole lot of time on it though and I was pretty burned out at the time.
