Thank you for this very detailed insight into FreeCAD specifics. I believe now that some modellings aspects I have assumed as feasible for FreeCAD might be too much of an API burden to implement. I love how the Python API closely matches the UI possibilities.
Python API is way more powerful than UI, as it expose also some complicated things.

Your professionally selected excerpts prove that. Gotta love the amount of insight that the FreeCAD community has gotten into this free & open-source product. That is the main reason I want to continue using and contributing to FreeCAD.
Thanks that these are not properly "professional" only some things that have helped me to focus on FC modelling.
Some more interesting things maybe:

As you could see some of these things are not easy to determine and require some "vector maths" and some "deep knowledge" of 3D graphics, plus some knowledge of the API.
If you note people that are discussing these sort of things are users, very few are "core developers" and usually each of them is willing to collaborate and is trying to guess what the OP (Original Poster) want to achieve and if FC will have such "facilities".
Sometimes you could note that if the question is interesting and the problem clearly stated, it is not rare that some "core developer" make something on source code to fulfill the needs of the OP or other participants to the discussion.

Your post continues to show how amazing you people really are at taking their time to write quality replies to newcomers like me. Thank you once again!
Thanks, but the only people to thanks are those who made explanations, among others
@chrisb,
@Chris_G @edwilliams16 ,
@Roy_043 and
@wmayer , only to mention the most recurring people from what I've archived forum post that has served me well to catch something about FC work. (Sorry for those I've forgotten).
Here I'm an user, who maybe do some "instigation" to have answers and as I'm a "scripting guy" some code to copy and reuse in some of my projects.
Hope it helps.
