Hi!
To make it short! Both Blender and Truespace are
awsome tools for poly modeling!
But if your into mechanical design cutting with booleans
is priceless! Well there are quite a few tools around
that cost money..some lots of money..but there
is a little gem that totaly free.. and thats Freecad!
Its actually very capable!
Its strong point is shaving off time you would spend
constructing with polys.. which is although possible
quite time consuming!

love free tools... looking good.... i liked 123D - was quite good too ;) Freecad seems more complicated and capable tho.

Its a full cad system and its parametrical
not worse then the other 1000$ plus tools!

here is how to come from ie Blender or Ts to a cad software using just free tools!
