Is there an application for building/drawing stuff. I know blender exists, but its a little overcomplicated for what I’m thinking of.

Also where can I post such questions, regarding software? If this isn’t the right place, tell me where I can post it.

    Tell us more about what you’re thinking of building/drawing. I like FreeCAD, but it’s also quite complicated, depending on what your goals are.

    you mean like the various CAD software that exists?

    what tool to use can depend on what you are drawing.

    openscad and onshape are some options. openscad is like coding and onshape is closer to typical 3D modeling interfaces.

    I use FreeCad as an alternative to Solidworks. It has its own way of doing things… but it’s more or less feature complete with respect to designing stuff.

    FreeCAD. It’ll do everything, but you have to put some time into understanding it. Fortunately, there’s are plenty of YouTube videos when you do get stuck.

    FreeCAD is good, but maybe more complicated than you’re looking for.

    You might want to try draw.io / diagrams.net . It can be used in the browser or as a standalone application
