Fast 3D modelling

Does anyone have experience here with using a 3D modelling software for quick concept mapping? So far I’ve been using 2D software for this such as VUE or SmartDraw but I feel my imagination is being restricted by 2D. I’d like to map the relationships between the various entities (organisations, places, people) that I’ve studied for my project and be able to examine the overall creation from various perspectives. I see that there are loads of free tools for 3D modelling out there:

I don’t need anything fancy, the simpler the better. The analogue alternatives are play dough or Lego blocks…
