So, a couple years ago, somebody published the 2017 free desktop client of SketchUp on the chocolatey repos, and I managed to snag it before it got taken down. I use it primarily to make woodworking plans.

I’m wrapping up my transition plan to Linux, but I’m not really up to date on SketchUp alternatives. The only ones I know of are Blender (afaik more for animation and 3D printing) and FreeCAD (CAD seems like overkill, since I’m just doing simple cuts and joinery).

Are there good Linux/FOSS alternatives to SketchUp that have similar features, or is the web client the only reasonable option?

    Ah, sorry. I do, but it’s on a pure Windows install. I’m finishing up my last remaining “like to have” software before I switch to Linux, so I will lose SketchUp when I make the switch.
