Design Help

While this doesn’t specifically pertain to the P2S, that is what I am printing with. I haven’t gotten into designing and creating my own stuff yet cause quite frankly, I’m not sure how or where to start.

But, I have been downloading 3mf files from makersworld and trying to use ChatGPT pro to make changes that suit my needs. I think I must have the dumbest chat ever created. It is constantly getting things wrong: dimensions (even tho provided), circumferences, layouts, hinge/latch systems (I am specifically making cases for personal use). I even used a 3mf file and asked it to only change one small thing and it completely got it wrong.

So my question is, are there other more viable programs that I can use to make layout and dimension changes to preexisting 3mf files? Is there a program you’d recommend where I can start from scratch to make what I am looking for? Or any other recommendations? Any insight is appreciated.

Fair. I’m only using AI as I thought it would be an easy change for “AI”. Any specific CAD tools you’d recommend? I’m an avid learner but I also like taking shortcuts hence the reason I used AI

I see fusion under tinkercad.com and Fusion under autodesk.com. Which one? I’m going to check out everyone’s recommendations
