    I have tried TurboCad. It does not work. I only tested CSG routines
    and it is garbage. I did not bother with the rest. 

    You are correct that povray is a raytracing program, but the
    scripting interface allows very intricate modeling. Moray replaces
    scripting with mouse interface, but the most power lies in scripting. 


    About steep learning curve with CAD. If person have experience with
    basic drafting, one week all one need to get handle on a well written
    CAD interface. There is nothing one does in CAD that is different
    from doing with ruler and compass. CAD should make it easier, not 
more
    difficult.
