DraftSight like Autocad does do 3D but its not a parametric modeller such as Solidworks, simply a drafting program.

SolidEdge is another parametric modeller very similar to Solidworks but a bit cheaper. When i was doing my Industrial Design degree we also used Rhino 3D which i loved, but once i got the hang of Solidworks I found it so much better and faster, even with surfacing (albeit not very complex surafacing i was doing). Also the fact its parametric and you can go back and change any dimension or association and have it update is very helpful.

I modelled my vintage Losi LXT truck for a project, so i'll try and find that and post some images.
