My company has a detailing department that uses all the fancy paid CAD softwares like AdvancedSteel, TeklaStructures and so on, I am not apart of that department but I have to be able to view and interpret the 3D models they make, so I installed FreeCAD on my work desktop and the experience has been quite rough, essentially it does not do a great job at importing files exported from these fancy softwares, I have to fiddle and tinker with different settings every single time and it sucks.

Perhaps I’m using it wrong, feel free to call me out on it as CAD isn’t really apart of my expertise.
