  1. Start by going into Mod and observing what happens in D3D Workbench
  2. See minimalistic workbench by Stephen - https://github.com/skaiser/FreeCAD_Workbench_Starter
  3. Steps to experiment with when creating workbenches:
    1. First step - just use FreeCAD without command line, using existing functions
      1. Python console automatically creates commands there
      2. Go to View->Panels->Python Console
    2. Do a FreeCAD console command
    3. Do a macro to do the same thing
    4. Write a Python module
    5. When finished testing, put the code into workbench
