I started using Sketchup in 2005, I think, and got pretty good at it, even doing some paid projects. I found it's approach to 3D modeling intuitive. I have yet to find another 3D modeling tool that works this way or is nearly as intuitive (Tinkercad comes closest for me). I don't use SketchUp enough to justify the licensing fees they've been wanting for many years, now. $119 is close enough I'm tempted, but having to use it in a browser when I'm using it for the purpose of 3D printing does not sound fun.

Anyone have any recommendations for similar apps—i.e. apps that are focused on architecture/industrial design (not character modeling) that don't expect you to do CAD as soon as anything gets interesting?
