Really handy to sometimes make 5 minute mockups in Cinema4D when I'm layout an illustration. Helps you nail the perspective instead of fiddling with aligning the invisible vanishing points for 20 minutes.

Or, for people not having a super-expensive package like Cinema 4D, you can achieve the same with a free tool like the online Tinkercad.com

Good point! Also blender and Google SketchUp will do the same thing and are 100% free.
Im just comfy in C4D but definitely overkill for basic 3D block ins
I know, same here. Gave it my best effort but it just wasn't happening. SketchUp is nice and intuitive though.
