I got banned for that exact answer to an OriginalGriff CCC back in September. Sean's not an inconsistent weasely sunshine at all.

That's twice in a row you seem to know it but don't want to answer.
Why you no want to set clue?

Seems that laziness extends to the counting of letters too!

SANCTIONS it is - I liked yesterdays so much than when I posted this: Bugs and Suggestions[^] I noticed the anagram and couldn't resist!
You are up tomorrow.

So I wanted to draw some 3D model for my kids to see the furniture I plan to build in their rooms...
There is an older (2017) Solid installed on my wife's laptop but it is fairly complicated and I hate that laptop...
So looked for some...
I found OpenSCAD - which is not even close to a true CAD, but I actually create the model by writing a C-like script... Totally fits my need and knowledge...
I'm only wondering who was thinking that programmers need a 3D modeller...

Have a look at Fusion 360 - it is a true CAD system (and CAM as well) but once you getteh idea it's pretty easy to use. (This may help: Adventures in 3D printing Part 1: Fusion, you CAD![^]) There is a free "Hobbyist" license as well, which is pretty damn good for a full featured expensive product.

Look fantastic - obviously way too much for me just now... Not that I need moving parts or such - just to look at it...

It's actually really cool, and very quick to do simple or complex bits - I recently made a little part smaller than my thumbnail to hold the dovetail mount of my Dial Test Indicator to the head on my 3D printer so I could get the bed more accurately levelled, and it took longer to print than to design ...

I used that when moved to my current home to place the existing furniture and see what we need more or left behind...
Very good one indeed... but not like writing code

Is that the one written in Java?
That runtime has been banned from my systems (I refuse to install it even on a VM), so that'd be a non-starter for me...

Java indeed, but there's also an online version, sometimes you have to take risks

I have been using SketchUp[^] from the days when it was a high priced application (somewhere around 350 USD, 15+ years ago), through the years when Google provided it for free, and I am still using it. Today, you have two choices: Either buying a subscription (no one-time-fee option), or a web version. I detest web based software, so I stick to the last freely available one, "Sketchup Make 2017" - google that, and you will find lots of sites from which it can be downloaded.
It takes a little effort to learn to use it properly, but once you learn it, you can easily make some really impressing drawings. And there is a huge library of 3D components - lots of makers of furniture, machinery, tools or whathaveyou have made SketchUp models of their products as a way to market them. Plus zillions of components made by SketchUp users.
SketchUp is a sketching tool - not a CAD/CAM tool. It is for showing the carpenter (or whatever sort of craftsman) how you want it to be when completed, not to tell him how to build it. I am in the middle of a process to prepare 30-40 "slides" to show the entrepreneur how I want the remodeling of my house to be. For that use, SketchUp is great.

Perhaps something for a survey...
With so many options how do you choose what languages and frameworks you learn?
Do you just learn and use whatever is used where you work? Do you have a say in the matter? E.g. when starting a new project can you use whatever you want to get the job done or is there a specified language you have to use?
Do you learn something new because it's popular / in demand in the job market?
For personal projects... maybe just because it looks cool or useful?

I get to choose, but it has to meet requirements so you end up with limited choice anyway. For example, if you need to make a web application, then you can't just choose a native Android app on the basis it is interesting... because it just wont meet requirements.
Jacquers wrote: Do you learn something new because it's popular / in demand in the job market?
Depends. If I was looking for a new job, or my current skillset appears to be dropping off the market at an alarming rate, then yes - learn what is in demand. Learning just the fun stuff is for people who have other (non-coding) ways to pay the bills.
Jacquers wrote: For personal projects... maybe just because it looks cool or useful?
If I want it done fast, use what I already know. If I have plenty of time, then maybe look at something new... or more realistically, just pretend to have ambitions to making all the awesome personal projects I come up with but really just do other non-coding things with my spare time instead.
