I'm looking for an alternative to SketchUp for Ubuntu with no luck whatsoever. I'm a heavy user of Blender, but since I can't really script at all, it doesn't fullfill my needs completely. What I'm looking for specifically is an easy tool to design furniture, for example. The tools I need in the program, according to SketchUp, are: exact measurements, ability to draw an object simply by drawing edges in 3D space or at least in 2D, ability to scale, extrude and manipulate with verticies, edges and/or faces in real measurementunits, ability to create a segment in an existing object easily in specified location. For example if I know I want a window in wall, knowing it has to be 1 meter from the ground and 50 cm from the corner, I want an easy way to do that.

What I don't need is calculating anything, running anything. (I only want stacionary designs, no turning wheels, no kogwheels, and if, I don't need to see them move or calculate anything there)

Is there any alternative for SketchUp working this way for Ubuntu?

I use FreeCAD, but mostly for part design. http://www.freecadweb.org/
