@freecad Thanks! Sorry to have used harsh language; but you see the frustration.

suggestions:
* TinkerCAD's tutorial is really friendly even if the software itself is just a sales pitch for the $$$ product.
* A couple of recipes for simple things would go a long way eg "make 2 cuboids of known dimensions", "join them"; or "draw and extrude a shape".
* Avoid using FreeCAD specific names and concepts before you've defined them
* docs say things like "As of v0.16…" and IDK if they still apply
