Sorry, I meant "Tinkercad".
I've probably found the way that suits me best. The most important thing is that this should be a fun thing I can do. :)

I think using a 3D tool for layout is, um, heroic.
Fun is fine in the short term, but your approach will limit you to very small circuits. That's no problem provided you are aware tgere are alternatives that scale, and would be prepared to modify your approach at the right time.

tggzzz really needs to stop with his anti-breadboard crusade. (Literally every thread about breadboards, he comes in to “warn” people about the pitfalls of solderless breadboards, hyperbolically making it sound as though they don’t ever work for anything.) He’s utterly convinced they’re of no value, and doesn’t understand that his suggestions of “quick” Manhattan soldering and studying datasheets aren’t sensible for every situation. His recommendations clearly expect levels of knowledge that a beginner will not have, not to mention eradicating the fun and delight of instant gratification and quick experimentation. :palm:

While I also question the utility of virtual breadboard software, wikipedia indicates that there is an electronics lab component to Tinkercad, so perhaps it's not actually using 3D CAD to design circuits on a breadboard? If it is actually using 3D CAD for circuits, then I certainly agree with your "heroic" adjective :D
Note that I have never used Tinkercad and my knowledge of it is limited to what I learned from its wikipedia article. With that limited knowledge, combining "electronics lab" capability (whatever that is) with 3D CAD seems strange to me.

Please point to where I wrote that in this thread. Be explicit.

Solderless breadboards aren't the only way to achieve "instant gratification and quick experimentation".
Which bits of
"Depending on the circuit you build you may not encounter those"
"Use what is best for you"
"Fun is fine"
did you not understand? Those are all from this thread.
Sure, there are caveats. So what?
