Yes, makes sense. Perhaps Corel's Technical Designer has what you are describing. I have a copy but it is not yet installed. Here are some links about it with screenshots - let me know if you think this could be closer to what you picture (since pictures are worth a thousand words and all that). Just want to be sure I can get a good feel for what you are describing in text.
Yes, this is a little closer to what I want, but still not quite there. Take the first movie for example at this link:

It starts by drawing a box. But it does so by drawing 3 sides separately. My proposed tool would draw entire box at once. Also, it uses the predefined 30-90-30 perspective without vanishing points. Later it changes it to "custom" but the angles are still input numerically and there are still no vanishing points. In my idea, all directions and vanishing points are all draggable on canvas (though you can probably also select from some predefined perspectives too).
Of course my tool would also be much simpler, at least at first. Less bells and whistles, but a solid drawing-oriented 3D foundation.
Just ran across this old thread on the mailing list archives:
