Default CAD for simple 3-D metal & wood projects?

Flat and round (spherical) are trivial problems and as you note it's
been done for ages, at least since the middle ages.


And there isn't much advantage in having a
CAD model for those shapes.



Other shapes are
more difficult, as is size.


And it is doubtful there is anyone reading this who
is cutting complex shapes from CAD models with precision
held to tenths.
