Needed a rough 3d model of a bunk bed I found online. No idea why such files are not provided on the product page of furniture. Ah well. Usually I'd do that in #Wings3D but that has currently very sluggish mouse input on Wayland so I decided to give #FreeCAD a go. No previous knowledge of this but ~2h later I found out enough to create a model based on the construction manual of the bed (well minus the ladder).
Good enough to import this into #SweetHome3D and to plan some modifications.

I would not even imagine getting this far in two hours learning freecad as it was, say, 5 years ago. It's much much MUCH more user friendly now.

Looks rather polished nowadays. Especially when compared with Wings3d. I give it that.

WOW, I thought I was the only one who still occasionally used #wings3d. Now I tend to reach for #blender to do a quick job; #freecad still for precision work though.
All of my #sweethome3d models for large shelving units, wall partitions, and storage cases are made from multiple simple cubes and grouped into a single part.

Little sad that there seems to be no way for direct vertex manipulation?

Think this only works when working from a 2D drawing.
