Good Features Most tools are intuitive and easy to use. Length dialog box good for exactness. Follow me Tool good for more complicated geometries. X-ray setting for face style helps check point/line placement.

Difficulties Difficult to tell where points are snapping Especially when the geometries are more complicated and have more edges. May not realize face is not complete until you go to paint. Navigation could be easier.
