Just want to thank everyone that engaged with my post today everyone was so chill and inspiring. I want to encourage us all in this community and all over Lemmy to continue to be kind and helpful. I had so many bad experiences on Reddit with hate keepers and know it alls and I’m glad we got this opportunity to be something better.

Ps: what cad software did you start on and what do you use now? Any tips and tricks will be greatly appreciated!

The tutorials for F360 are numerous, and some very good, you just have to find one that supports the current build. I still struggle with the invisible auto constraints it inexplicably adds and the apparent inability to modify constraint hierarchy (I had a couple thousand hours of Pro/E back in the day), and I throw things when they don’t have all the mathematical ways to create construction objects. Aside from that it’s a good tool as long as you’re working with solid objects and not meshes.

Yea that is the one thing I noticed. Trying to work with a mesh was damn near impossible for me. Makes it annoying if i'm trying to modify an existing .stl. Still haven't really worked out how to do that but one of these days i'll get it.
