Unpopular opinion: I dropped $300 on a 'pro' drafting software course that was just recycled YouTube tutorials.

The instructor's 'advanced' section was literally a video from 2018 I'd already seen for free. Anyone know a legit place to actually learn parametric modeling?

Honestly, that's a brutal way to learn you just paid for a playlist. Tbh my entire "pro" skill set is built from a dozen half-watched tutorials and sheer panic. Ngl, the official software forums are usually a better bet for finding real project guides. The user projects there often have way clearer steps than most paid courses.

Man, that's a rough deal. Paying that much for stuff you can find for free is the worst feeling. I got burned on a "premium" Photoshop pack that was just stolen brushes from DeviantArt. The official forums are a solid tip, the project breakdowns there usually show their work, which helps way more than some guy just talking.
