There is FreeCAD package (as > well as port). I'm sure there is openscad package on FreeBSD as well Oh sure there's a package - I tried FreeCAD and a few others but I found it much easier to do precise models with text files than by drawing. I mostly do woodwork or building design with it so I have a library of components and with careful use of echo I can get a materials and cutting list on stdout while it renders an STL or image. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith | Directable Mirror Arrays C:\>WIN | A better way to focus the sun The computer obeys and wins. | licences available see You lose and Bill collects. | http://www.sohara.org/
