Similar to TinkerCAD, Autodesk123D has a browser-based 3D design platform; however, it differs substantially by not binding the user into using premade 3D shapes, but rather allowing for the creation the user's own shapes derived from sketches. Autodesk123D is also available for the desktops, iOS, and Android platforms. Using intermediate software packages The packages in this category give us more explicit control over our design, particularly in creating parametric models. Parametric modeling allows us to go back to our model's history and change parameters that we have previously set, allowing us to fine-tune features.
