VERY interesting! Thank you.

Yes. I explored. Fascinating possibilities. Thanks for the links.

The problem is that I can see the color name #(alphanumeric string), I can click on it and see the little color display with hue and value and holding down left mouse button I can select both and the new number is displayed, but the object does not change to the selected color. That default clay color makes everything look anatomical.
There must be some keystrokes I am missing and I could not find in search online.

Very interesting. I don't recall encountering an attachment/insert with active buttons in this forum before. Is this a new feature? I guess I have been sleeping. I have not yet tried the featured application.

Blender did have its own wiki at one time. I remember the gingerbread man.

looks intresting 😄

If you register, you will probably
contacted by Karin, who will ask you if you like the plugin.
You can ask her more about it.

Excellent! 😎

This topic thread is about a specific modeling application named FreeCAD, ... not about all free CAD applications in general.

I am sure there are other threads for that (as I have posted in them.)
