After several attempts, it appears that FormZ Free is the closest to SketchUp Make in terms of organisation!
An interface a little less "fluid" but we manage much better than Shape's interface, which is a little bit of a puzzle! :-P
And there are some nice little ones, staircases, automatic roofs etc... as well as a practical volume "unfurler"!
A hint of Nurbs...
A "all-in-one" performance for not a dime! ;)
Allows import SKP, dwg, etc... and export STL and DAE (so re-loadable directly in SketchUp).
If you have better do not hesitate!

As a bonus, it's also operates as a Solid Modeler-- so that means it has great filleting and 3D prints.
I agree, it is a good program. I have it but haven't used it in years. Need to rethink that now that SU is off to the cloud soon.

<< so that means it has great filleting
Not in the "Free" version ! ;)
So some boolean operations (permited) for make it!

Sure but its ergonomy for modeling is not directly friendly!
else
One button render very cool
Its function to import directly objects from producers very cool!
dwg / skp in every way very cool!

2 years after a new "machine" (AlphaGo Zero) put a 100 to 0 against AlphaGo!
I leave you to imagine what it would be like against a poor human being! :)
And this having formed itself, just with the rules of the game!

And poignant video (Vo) of man's first fight against the "old AlphaGo".

I am waiting when "Deep learning" will be used for 3D creation! ;)

Cool, thanks for sharing, Pilou. I love keeping track of AI developments.
I thought you were also partly a Blender guy. :)

Frenchy,
You should create a YouTube channel where you keep folks updated on the latest 3D tools available. I suspect you could get quite a following!

Guys and Ladies must go on this thread! :)
