When it comes down to it, most designers aren’t truly thinking in 3D. It’s more like 2D+.
I don’t think it makes sense to compare!
Although there are common areas of use, the areas of use in general are very different. I think the important thing is which one is more efficient for the work being done.
I prefer a jeep for off road. A sport vehicle for speeding.
< All I can say is that I have made many fixtures to hold my customers’ parts that had many compound angles to the tubing he used in his parts, that I NEVER would have even attempted to quote the jobs if all I had was 2D.
With 3D it’s a breeze. >< >< >< >< ><
It’s a game changer!
