I used Inkscape quite a bit back in 2007-2008. Time to fire it up again. The open source modelling world is on fire. I recently discovered FreeCAD when I couldn't convince myself to keep using SketchUp due to the price. I found that FreeCAD is highly regarded, imports and exports from Blender, and has solid support for making parts (3D printing and CNC) and architecture. It has thermal and torque modelling!! In short, it easily replaces SketchUp and many other modelling tools that cost a fortune (SOLIDWORKS is $50k).
