I've been thinking about building a structures with pvc pipes but before buying the materials i want to plan it.

The things that i know:

-It doesn't concern liquid transportation

-I am not going to use pipe connectors (i can mold them)

-I have ways to bend the pipes.

Any suggestions? thanks

There is FreeCAD and Fusion 360 available for free on the web. I believe Fusion 360 only limits you on the total number of projects you can have active at once. FreeCAD is free, but I found it to be a little harder to use than Fusion for some things. FreeCAD has good tutorials to get you started if you go that route. Idk if Fusion has tutorials, I already knew how to use Fusion before jumping in. Best of luck!
