Yes please, I'll give it a try.

cad/sweethome3d :
	Builds & starts OK, but first time I reloaded a saved file:
	  "A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment"
	I mailed Maintainer matthias@petermann-it.de to ask if he sees that.

/usr/ports/cad/freecad
	Suggested by a non FreeBSD friend, make running, nothing from
		pkg search cad | grep -i free 

Cheers,
Julian
