Not sure what you mean by heavy and complex, do you have any example's to show? I've designed a couple planes in SW, and everyone has their preference on how they design stuff. I think it comes down to how familiar with you are with the software and how you are going about making your parts, there is no easy button, it does take a good amount of effort and planning.

Here's my latest design, which has already been sent out for laser cutting.
