Unfortunately, it's a reality that not all parts described using build123d can be
successfully constructed. Designers may have to explore different design approaches
to get the OpenCascade CAD core to successfully build the target object.
For instance, if a multi-section :func:`~operations_part.sweep` operation fails, a
:func:`~operations_part.loft` operation may be a viable alternative in certain
situations. It's crucial to remember that CAD is a complex
field and patience may be required to achieve the desired results.

2D before 3D

of the design. To avoid unnecessary processing costs and potential errors caused by a
needlessly complicated design, it's recommended to perform these operations towards
the end of the object's design.
the end of the object's design. This is especially true for 3D shapes, as it is
sometimes necessary to fillet or chamfer in the 2D design phase. Luckily, these
2D fillets and chamfers are less likely to fail than their 3D counterparts.
