Basically how I do what I do so fast. I timed myself on this. To get to where you see the last step, it took me 57 minutes.

That would be interesting without the background music drowning you out in some places.

Thanks I never thought about investigating this in my Pro/E Personal. Always did modeling with dimensions.

Works really well there.

Did my building in Pro E with dimensions and textured it in Blender:

May I ask you where to get Inventor Autodesk at, and what's the poly count of the final object. I'd like to try it for some models.

Also, is it a free program, or does it cost something?

Free, nope, expensive, yes:

Google "Autodesk Inventor"

Fast always costs more, I know how fast modeling in Pro/E is and I used to be fast.
Lot faster than "artsy" modelers. Should be alot faster now:

The poly count is about the same as "artsy". I reduced a lot of excess polys in the building in Blender before texturing.

autodesk has a student thingy in which I think you get it free as long as you don't make stuff for profit or commercial gain.

Interesting and well put, but as was said before the musice level is too high.
Actually, even if it was lower, the music would be still distracting.
I don't see the need for music in a tutorial video and I don't understand why people insist on adding it.

yeah, that's why I went with an instrumental, but I suppose.
