It is really a 2-D drawing package, and you turn the model on the screen to add features on other planes. That was way non-intuitive, but works once you know how it works. The G-code generation works well, I have only had one case where it didn't properly follow a 3-D surface I'd created. It kind of missed where several curves intersected. I rarely use it, and then usually for 2-D stuff with just slightly tricky geometry.
