ANY CAD program will have a pretty steep learning curve – ANY of them. SU is no different.
I have used different CAD apps and while my favorite in terms of intuitiveness and capabilities is Bonzai I ended up going back to SketchUp because it’s free, and it’s plugable as well as simpler in certain aspects. from my expreience SU may not be the most intuitive CAD to use, but it actually has the shortest learning curve I’ve experienced between the alternatives.
that aside, whatever CAD program you end up using you’ll still have to draw/trace your parts/geometry. these are all design tools and not reproduction tools where you can do a 1-click and turn a plan from shopnotes into a 3D representation for you to look through.
