For me that's 3D, anything that uses all 3 axis is 3D, solids are another thing altogether but there is such a thing as 2D solids in LT. I draw just about everything in 3D using LT. The big difference is the available tools included with LT, so it is a question of how much time you are willing to put into a drawing to get the results. LT does have the "hide" command so views with hidden line removal are also possible. All by it's self just using LT you can do a lot, but add in the power of Excel and you can do it quicker (if you don't count the weeks and months of programming ).
