Hello! I'm working on some 3d modeling from scratch in Python, and I've created a simple workplane object for creating and working with local coordinate systems. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with my global-to-local coordinate translation code, however. Would anyone mind taking a look?
This code is fair-game for anyone to take and use!

from math import cos, sin, degrees, radians, sqrt, atan2 import numpy as np np.set_printoptions(precision=3, suppress=True) class Workplane: def __init__(self, origin=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), rot=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0)): self.x = origin[0] self.y = origin[1] self.z = origin[2] self.rot_x = rot[0] self.rot_y = rot[1] self.rot_z = rot[2] xS = sin(radians(self.rot_x)) yS = sin(radians(self.rot_y)) zS = sin(radians(self.rot_z)) xC = cos(radians(self.rot_x)) yC = cos(radians(self.rot_y)) zC = cos(radians(self.rot_z)) rot_x_matrix = np.array([[1, 0, 0, 0], [0, xC, xS, 0], [0, -xS, xC, 0], [0, 0, 0, 1]]) rot_y_matrix = np.array([[yC, 0, -yS, 0], [0, 1, 0, 0], [yS, 0, yC, 0], [0, 0, 0, 1]]) rot_z_matrix = np.array([[zC, -zS, 0, 0], [zS, zC, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0, 1]]) self.rot_matrix = np.dot(rot_y_matrix, rot_x_matrix) self.rot_matrix = np.dot(rot_z_matrix, self.rot_matrix) def __repr__(self): s = f"Workplane at: <{self.x:.3f} {self.y:.3f} {self.z:.3f}>\n" s += f"Rotation: <{self.rot_x:.3f} {self.rot_y:.3f} {self.rot_z:.3f}>\n" return s def rotate(self, x=0, y=0, z=0): rot_x = self.rot_x + x rot_y = self.rot_y + y rot_z = self.rot_z + z return Workplane((self.x, self.y, self.z), (rot_x, rot_y, rot_z)) def translate(self, x=0, y=0, z=0): p = np.array([0,0,0,1]) trans_matrix = np.array([[1, 0, 0, x], [0, 1, 0, y], [0, 0, 1, z], [0, 0, 0, 1]]) p = np.dot(trans_matrix, p) p = np.dot(self.rot_matrix, p) p[0] += self.x p[1] += self.y p[2] += self.z rot = (self.rot_x, self.rot_y, self.rot_z) return Workplane(p, rot) def to_global(self, p): if len(p) == 2: p = p + (0,) wp = self.trans(p[0], p[1], p[2]) return (wp.x, wp.y, wp.z) def to_local(self, p): # help? p1 = np.array([0,0,0,1]) trans_matrix = np.array([[1, 0, 0, self.x], [0, 1, 0, self.y], [0, 0, 1, self.z], [0, 0, 0, 1]]) m = np.dot(self.rot_matrix, trans_matrix) m = np.linalg.inv(m) p1 = np.dot(m, p1) p1[0] += p[0] p1[1] += p[1] p1[2] += p[2] return (p1[0], p1[1], p1[2]) wp = Workplane() print(wp) wp = wp.rotate(0,0,90) print(wp) print(wp.to_local((5,0,0))) # not working, should be (0,-5,0) I think #wp = wp.translate(5,0,0) #print(wp) 

Everytime I make a new scene I have to manually turn off the workplane grid, the axis, etc. Is there a way to save my preset as Default so that I don't have to manually do this every single time?

Russia's foreign ministry is concerned about the negotiations between Armenia and the West to replace the aging Russian-build Metsamor nuclear plant with a Western reactor

REPORTER: Regarding the April 5 Brussels meeting. There were reports [denied by parties] that certain military-political agreements were also reached. What do you know about this?
MOSCOW: There were indeed leaks [unclear from whose խոռոչ]. Prior to the meeting, Yerevan reassured that the development of relations with the West is not directed against other parties. We are waiting for Armenia's response to those leaks [Yerevan has already denied that military topic was discussed].
We won't be surprised if the so-called Resilience Plan for Armenia includes the replacement of Russian border guards and the 102nd military base with US-EU-NATO specialists and the expansion of the patrol mission on the borders with Azerbaijan and Iran.
We also believe the West is pressuring Armenia to replace Metsamor NPP with a Western option. The West wants Armenia to break all ties with Russia in the spheres of defense and economy. They also want to stoke divisions between the regional states, and they are using Armenia as a tool to ignite another major fire in the region. The West is good at that. They don't know how to resolve conflicts. They don't know how to stop bloodshed. They only know how to incite and break things.
The steps taken by the West won't improve Armenia's defense capabilities, protect the borders, or improve the economy. Quite the contrary; they want to deprive Armenia of its national economy, national defense, national energy, and replace them with unachievable roadmaps and demagogy, and when they are done, when they get what they want, they will dump Armenia just as they have dumped many countries around the world.
In Lithuania, the West insisted on the replacement of Russian nuclear energy under the pretense of ecology and with the use of fearmongering. Many people bought it. Today, Lithuanians buy electricity for 3x the price. History shows that Russian nuclear energy is the most advanced and safest in the world, and we are ready to continue to supply it to Armenia, where 30% of the generated power comes from Metsamor NPP. //

interview with Artak Ghukasyan, a representative of a military industry company

REPORTER: The government has signed contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire weapons from domestic manufacturers. What can you tell us about this, and whether this is progress?
GHUKASYAN: Some of these weapons did not exist in the Armenian army's arsenal in the past. I won't name the companies and the exact products, but I'll tell you about one of them: it is more stable and can resist the adversary's radio-electronic warfare tools. We didn't have this before. A serial production means a weapon will be accepted by the army. This is great news.
REPORTER: Are you talking specifically about this weapon equipped with anti-radio interference tech entering serial production?
GHUKASYAN: Yes.
REPORTER: The minister spoke about several types of weapons. Are these offensive or defensive weapons? Where is the effort concentrated?
GHUKASYAN: I can't reveal everything. In 2022 we held a consultation with the defense minister, attended by mil. industry company leaders. They decided that Armenia has passed a certain phase, and we have enough quantities of a specific type of weapon for our defense, so now it's time to focus on more, hmmm, how do I say this... "effective weapons". In other words, we satisfied the recon needs, and now it was time to focus on striking capabilities. It is difficult to specify this as offensive or defensive because you can use it either way. You can use a drone to strike an enemy armored vehicle that's attacking you.
REPORTER: Will these efforts be successful or is it a waste of money again?
GHUKASYAN: I can only speak about the efforts post-2018. There were successes and weapons presented during expos by Davaro, UAV Lab, and others. We should always remember that the opponent also develops its arsenal. We need to be a step ahead of them.
REPORTER: The high-tech minister said the defense ministry will acquire weapons worth $308 million from 25 domestic firms. Is this a decent number?
GHUKASYAN: That's more than in previous years. $300M is a very serious number for boosting domestic projects and research. With $300M you can finance hundreds of military R&D projects. It's important for these allocated funds to be spent with purpose. There are issues when it comes to wasting funds. The plan to prevent waste has not been adopted yet because of resistance from the army CoGS office. We sent a letter to the Government but didn't hear back. We then used internal contacts to send a letter directly to Pashinyan and it was received. Pashinyan ordered the State Supervision Service to investigate it, but it appears the case hasn't moved forward for about a month now. For those we don't know, this case is about investigating ֏5 billion ($13 million) in annual waste on army fuel purchases. When I mentioned this to a ruling party MP, he said the number reported to him was much larger. If you know this, why not expedite the investigation? We don't want another army general to build a mansion with state funds.
REPORTER: When did this theft occur? Before or after 2020?
GHUKASYAN: Both. We launched the effort to end it in 2021. Every MOD expressed readiness to investigate it, including Papikyan. The latter invited several ministry officials to launch a pilot program. However, the ministry's efforts were thwarted by the army command, and Papikyan's order was not executed.
REPORTER: What was this pilot program about?
GHUKASYAN: To use special software and devices to monitor the entry and exit of fuel. This would allow us to raise the efficiency to 93%, which is a very high number. It appears the ministry agrees that it needs to be addressed, but...
REPORTER: Who is blocking it?
GHUKASYAN: I know the names of several officials and officers, some of whom are former officers at the CoGS office. For example, Petrosyan, the head of [army's] auto-transport utilization department was categorically against it. He doesn't serve there anymore but I don't know if he still maintains influence there. He was arguing that "only" 20 tons of fuel is being wasted in the army annually and that he knew the number from the investigations by military police. In other words, he thinks the military police are capable or want to catch every instance of theft.
We have some other officials who were not acting maliciously but were misled. For example, one ranking officer from the CoGS office was against our tech because he believed it could be located by the enemy because it's receiving satellite signals. In reality, you can't be located if you only receive signals. This is a major problem. Many ranking army figures don't understand how military tech works.
REPORTER: Russians are withdrawing from Nagorno-Karabakh after allowing Azerbaijan to break the terms of the agreement since 2020. Did Russians enter Nagorno-Karabakh to protect, or to remove Armenians?
GHUKASYAN: They violated the Nov. 9 agreement. As Otto von Bismarck believed, an agreement signed with Russia was worth less than the paper that it was signed on. Our so-called ally and its so-called peacekeepers of course could not have been trusted to protect the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh. Moreover, in 2019, a year before the war, Azerbaijani reporter Zaur Mammedov wrote about a certain "very serious agreement" reached between Putin and Erdogan, and he said that a certain nation in the South Caucasus that considers itself as ancient and wise, must be prepared to clean the Russian boots and serve Turks in public bathrooms. This was 2019. Now we can guess what the Putin-Erdogan agreement was about. The 2020 war looked like a plan by Azerbaijan, Russia, and Turkey to solve the Armenian issue. As Joseph Stalin said, "When there's a person, there's a problem. When there's no person, there's no problem."
REPORTER: But this has weakened Russia's presence in the region. Why would they want it?
GHUKASYAN: Today Russia has a strong presence in the South Caucasus with the help of Azerbaijan. Russia is selling its sanctioned gas to Europe by labeling it as Azeri gas. Russia has actually strengthened its position in the region. If before 2020 Azerbaijan was not a Russian "ally" despite arms sales, then after 2020 their relations rose to a new level, and in 2022 they signed an agreement on a strategic alliance. Russia replaced weak Armenia which constantly needed support, with a more powerful neighbor that was capable of helping Russia. They made a transaction with Azerbaijan and Turkey.

GRECO publishes the anti-corruption evaluation report adopted in March

Launched in March 2017, adopted in March 2024, and published in April 2024. Last month the Justice Minister said GRECO has recorded an improvement in Armenia's compliance. GRECO' final assessment will be available soon.
The GRECO report evaluates the effectiveness of the framework in place in Armenia to prevent corruption amongst persons with top executive functions (PTEFs) and law enforcement officials (LEO).
Following the 2018 Velvet Revolution, an ambitious reform programme was initiated to root out corruption, modernise public governance, decrease the size of shadow economy, alleviate tax evasion and tackle monopolies and oligarchic cartels.
An Anti-Corruption Strategy and Action Plan were issued, and specialised anti-corruption institutions were either established or reformed, i.e. Corruption Prevention Commission, Anti-Corruption Committee, Anti-Corruption Court, Anti-Corruption Court of Appeal and Anti-Corruption Chamber of the Court of Cassation.
Large-scale investigations were opened to prosecute high-level corruption and kleptocratic networks connected to previous regimes. Cases are on-going.
The new Anti-Corruption Strategy (2023-2026), which was adopted after the on-site visit [by GRECO], comprises some measures targeting PTEFs, but they are yet to be developed, including through systematic performance of integrity checks prior to appointment. The Code of Conduct for PTEFs was recently adopted and targeted training is to be provided to PTEFs on integrity-related matters. Further guidance is required regarding gifts and their reporting and registration. Post-employment provisions are weak in terms of their scope, as well as their monitoring and enforcement. This is a crucial weakness of the system.
Access to information legislation (FoIA) is reasonably comprehensive, with defined procedures and rules for filing and processing information, the appointment of information officers, and appeal mechanisms. Civil society and the Ombudsman are playing a key role in overseeing implementation of the FoIA, but there is no dedicated institutional body which would ensure systematic and independent review, monitoring and the promotion of a unified implementation practice. The legislation provides institutional mechanisms to engage civil society and the public at large in the decision-making process, including an electronic platform for public consultations, public hearings, and consultative bodies. However, in practice, not all of them are fully functional and effective. The adoption of lobbying rules is an outstanding matter.
Armenia has a rather comprehensive financial disclosure system. Further, some important steps have been taken in recent years to strengthen financial disclosure monitoring (including through effective cross-checks, inter-institutional cooperation, and access to databases) and enforcement. The proactiveness of the Corruption Prevention Commission [CPC] in this area is commendable, but more resources are needed for the improvements planned to become a reality. The accountability system for breaches of integrity rules by PTEFs need to be boosted. The oversight role which is to be played by parliament regarding government is to be strengthened.
The police is currently undergoing a major structural reform, starting in December 2019 (Police Reform Strategy 2020-2022). In December 2022, a Ministry of Internal Affairs was established which provides direct leadership and administration of the police.
The police lacks a well-developed ethics infrastructure. It does not have a dedicated anti-corruption policy/strategy, nor a Code of Conduct of its own and no risk assessment has been carried out to date. No information is being gathered on whether the current post-employment practices may constitute a vulnerability for the police. There is some (although insufficient) training on anti-corruption and integrity carried out upon entry in the police and in service. Vetting and re-vetting processes must also be stepped up. The proportion of female officers (18.7%) is low, which calls for the adoption of positive measures to have women better represented in the police, including in senior management positions. More could also be done to improve the transparency with which the police operates, and the relevance of the information that is provided to the public.
In [GRECO's] Fourth Evaluation Round, dealing with corruption prevention in respect of parliamentarians, judges and prosecutors, 50% of the recommendations have been fully implemented and 50% partly implemented. The compliance procedure under that round is, however, still on-going. The country may therefore have implemented the remaining recommendations after the formal closure of the compliance procedure.
Following the 2018 Velvet Revolution, the Government initiated a reform programme to root out corruption, modernise public governance, decrease the size of the shadow economy, alleviate tax evasion and tackle monopolies and oligarchy. An Anti-Corruption Strategy and Action Plan for the period 2019-2022 were issued, which set out a workplan for reforming/establishing anti-corruption institutions (Corruption Prevention Commission, AntiCorruption Committee, Anti-Corruption Court, Anti-Corruption Court of Appeal and AntiCorruption Chamber of the Court of Cassation) and legal framework.
Another important element of the aforementioned Strategy was the establishment of a register of beneficial ownership. As a result of that objective, Armenia has been among the first countries publishing data online on beneficial ownership, this effort started with an initial focus on extractive industries but has gradually extended to other sectors. From 1 January 2023, the requirement to declare beneficial ownership applies to all companies, including those with State ownership.
According to Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI), Armenia occupied the 62nd rank out 180 countries in 2023 and had a score of 47. Corruption risks are perceived particularly high in the judiciary, armed forces, mining sector and public procurement.
The OECD recognizes the ambitious anticorruption reforms that had been launched in the country since 2018 and the significant changes introduced in 2022 strengthening the legislative framework and improving anticorruption prevention and enforcement, as well as judicial independence (for which the corresponding scorings were increased).
The police has long suffered from institutional weaknesses, allegations of corruption and the use of force. Improvements have occurred in recent years following the mass dismissal of high-ranking law enforcement officials in 2018 and the launching of large-scale reforms in December 2019, but an articulated ethics infrastructure is still lacking.
The adoption of the 2019-2022 Anti-Corruption Strategy marked a turning point for Armenia, through its engagement in targeted deliverables on several fronts (preventing and combating corruption, education, and awareness, monitoring and evaluation). Further, the Strategy led to the establishment/reform of specialised anti-corruption institutions. A new Strategy was adopted, after the [GRECOs] on-site visit, for the period 2023-2026.
Authorities should increase resources for CPC [corruption prevention commission] to address the high employee turnover rate.
The 2019-2022 Anti-Corruption Strategy did not include any component on high-risk areas for PTEF or high-level corruption. The new 2023-2026 Anti-Corruption Strategy comprises several measures targeting PTEFs, which is a welcome development, but these are yet to be implemented. GRECO recommends that a risk analysis covering persons entrusted with top executive functions’ specific integrity risks be carried out on a regular basis.
[GRECO mission] considers that access to information legislation (FoIA) is reasonably comprehensive, with defined procedures and rules for filing and processing information, the appointment of information officers, and appeal mechanisms. [Armenian NGOs] were of the opinion that there was room for improvement. [GRECO] was also told that implementation practice of FoIA requirements is not fully satisfactory at present.
Currently, there are no rules on lobbying, nor is there any legislative initiative to cover this issue, although its consideration is recommended under the [government's] Anti-Corruption Strategy 2019-2022, as well as in the new 2023-2026 Anti-Corruption Strategy. [GRECO] believes this a pressing matter to be dealt with expediently.
[GRECO] acknowledges the recent introduction of quite detailed rules on conflicts of interest and the mechanism for their disclosure. The system for providing advice on conflicts of interest is highly decentralised, with superiors taking decisions in this respect, which in turn undermines consistency of the system and also raises doubts as to the competence/knowledge of individual senior managers on conflicts of interest related matters. There are integrity officers in each individual public body, but their status is to be reinforced, the same can be said regarding the role of ethics commissions. The [government's] new Anti-Corruption Strategy aims at improvements in this respect. The authorities should continue addressing remaining deficits or inconsistencies.
So far, the CPC has examined around 90 applications and media publications pertaining to [business-office] incompatibility requirements, with only 6-7 of them being associated with PTEFs. Following the examination, no grounds were identified to initiate proceedings for the breach of incompatibility rules. Of the media publications, 4 focused on persons serving as deputy minister, one related to the person holding a position of an advisor. These publications were related to the non-declaration of shares in commercial organisations and/or the failure to disclose information on trust management in their annual declarations. Nevertheless, after careful examination, no basis was found to initiate proceedings for the violation of incompatibilities. Two other cases are in process. In addition, the CPC has received a number of applications from individuals holding ministerial positions seeking clarification on incompatibility rules, for which the CPC has issued the pertinent clarifications.
There is no specific prohibition or restriction on PTEFs entering into contracts with public authorities in which case the Law on Procurement (LPA) applies. [GRECO] encourages the authorities to think expansively in this respect to better prevent risks of conflicts of interest, preferential treatment, and favouritism permeating public procurement processes. In this connection, [GRECO] refers to practice of some other member States which have introduced restrictions.
There is a general ban on gifts for public servants and persons holding public positions, including PTEFs. Thus, any gift which relates to the official duties of the public officials, regardless its value, should not be accepted. There are some exceptions, and they must be registered. [GRECO] was made aware of the intention of the authorities to make further upgrades to the rules on gifts, including by developing the notions of permissible gifts and gifts received in connection with official duties. GRECO sees it beneficial for PTEFs to receive further guidance on the issue of gifts.
[There are already restrictions on where/when an official can work after dismissal but GRECO thinks the rules need to get tougher.]
GRECO notes that Armenia has a rather comprehensive financial disclosure system. Further, some important steps have been taken in recent years to strengthen financial disclosure monitoring and enforcement. The CPC has been granted with powers and tools to verify declarations and the possibility to impose administrative sanctions. The CPC proactiveness in this area is commendable, but more resources are needed for the improvements planned to become a reality. CPC should receive more resources.
GRECO considers that the accountability system for PTEFs can be further strengthened. There are loopholes in law regarding sanctions since not all violations entail consequences. GRECO recommends that the enforcement regime regarding ethics, conflicts of interest and integrity of all persons with top executive functions be substantially stepped-up, including by ensuring that all violations are subject to proper consequences.
The police is currently undergoing a major structural reform. The latest Council of Europe Action Plan for Armenia 2023-2026 supports the reform process, including by assisting the authorities in enhancing the accountability and integrity of the police. The authorities indicated that the concept of the police ongoing reform refers to its demilitarisation. The authorities further explain that the new vision and ideology on the police mean that all police forces should be exclusively civilian. The Police Troops of Armenia, also known as the Interior Troops, will be demilitarised, and reorganised as a civilian police force. Authorities plan to increase the share of female officers to 30% to by 2026, and remove obstacles such as minimum height requirements. GRECO welcomes the efforts to improve female participation. It will help prevent groupthink and corruption. In 2023 (as of March), 58% of the respondents were satisfied with the activities of Police, in 2021 the percentage was 68%. GRECO encourages any opportunity to expand and utilise body worn cameras across the whole front-line workforce at the earliest opportunity. The use of body cameras is envisaged also within the reforms in Community Police. GRECO recommends that a Code of Conduct for the police be adopted in order to address modern challenges of policing and cover in detail all relevant integrity matters. GRECO recommends developing an advanced training programme for all police officers focusing on proactive testing of ethics and values, awareness of new challenges, and legislative updates. GRECO was told that, as part of the strategy of the police to improve integrity within its files, key attention has been paid to enhancing officers’ education and developing training opportunities and curricula, including for managers. A comprehensive overview of training programmes and materials was provided to GRECO, evidencing a continuous strive to improve internal understanding and compliance of the challenges faced. The attendance in comparison to the workforce was however small.

US-based Armenian NGO "Center for Truth and Justice" files a claim with ICC (Rome Statute) to launch a preliminary "genocide" investigation against Azerbaijani authorities for events since 2020

NGO: We'll file the genocide claim [in a few hours] under article 6 of the Rome Statute. The demand is for the prosecutor general to launch the preliminary investigation. This is a historical case, and it's the first such case involving Armenia. Our organization has gathered evidence and eyewitness accounts. The evidence shows that Azerbaijani officials must be individually held responsible for their actions that amount to state-sponsored genocide.
REPORTER: Who are these officials?
NGO: We will publish the list soon. Aliyev and other ranking officials are in it. The case of Al Bashir shows that state leaders do not have immunity and can be prosecuted.
REPORTER: Does the state of Armenia have to get involved for this case to be successful?
NGO: At this stage we are only asking for the preliminary investigation to be launched, so the prosecutor general [presumably of ICC] plays the primary role. They will investigate and decide if there is a basis for launching this case. Once the official investigation begins, the Armenian state's involvement will play a big role because we'll need more detailed evidence and this cooperation will be necessary.
REPORTER: What evidence do you have? What is the likelihood of success?
NGO: We have eyewitness accounts, which you don't find in every case. This is a very specific claim. The launching of the preliminary investigation would be a success. We are ready to provide more evidence and cooperate. This process will take a long time but the prosecutor can issue a preliminary order for arrest. That would be a success.
REPORTER: Did you coordinate this with the Armenian government, or this is a separate work by you?
NGO: [audio cuts off] all of our work is done independently and this claim was filed by our organization. It's an independent claim; there has been no coordination with the state.
REPORTER: How effective will it be if there is no coordination?
NGO: It doesn't matter who applies to launch the claim. At this stage, the state's involvement is not as important. It will be important when the preliminary investigation begins. We will be joined by international women's organizations and other organizations during the preliminary phase.

Government will make changes to the list of diseases that determine the suitability of a citizen or serviceman for military service

MOD PAPIKYAN: Statistics show that there is a progressive trend in cases of service exemptions for a number of diseases. We are talking about a manifold increase in such cases. We also consulted with the Ministry of Health, and we are talking about diseases that cannot in any way harm a person’s health during service. //
For example, cysts that do not cause other complications, or bedwetting that is not accompanied by other developmental issues. These conditions will allow for "limited" service. These conscripts won't have to do some of the heavier daily tasks, combat duty, and they won't be allowed to drive vehicles or manage personnel.
Some of these health conditions already do not exempt the conscript from joining service, so in those instances it's about whether to discharge the conscript during service or not.

Any advice/help is appreciated!!!!
I (17M) am going to study Software Engineering (undergrad) in my unii, in about less than 3 months. I checked the course profile and we'll be taught Python.
The thing is I have absolutely 0 knowledge about Python. I did undergo a small 3 month course in python last year, but the best I was taught was creating programs in IDE using loops/lists and the decision making with operators. The closest I made to an application was a calculator that ran in the environment itself.
I bought this book Python for Dummies but I had trouble grasping what was taught.
Then I thought maybe the best way would be to try using python and then learning as I go. I decided to try making a simple application. I discovered something called 'Kivvy' which is basically python for app development (?) but I had zero idea what was being done. Then I turned to YouTube for some basic videos. I went along the tutorials but the whole thing about self, _inni(), classes, importing modules everything confused me so much. For example, when creating a program how would I know if I even need a module and that a module according to my needs even exists? I'm really confused and stressed that I'm going to be absolutely stumped once my uni starts
So I find myself turning to you guys for advice/help. I have roughly 75-80 days, and I am currently unemployed so I have all the time in the day. What should be my best course of action? Videos on social media are confusing me even more, something about leetcoding, some say I should make projects for a portfolio, some say I should start again since I'm forgetting the basics. Nobody in my family has a coding experience that I can turn to. Any resources should I refer to? Any recommendations? Any suggestions about a workplan I should follow?I'm REALLY DESPERATE. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated! !

Sometimes with a complex part I know it will take a long time for a Group to complete.
After I start such a Group, I may think of changes I need to make to the part. So... I want to stop the long Group in progress so I can make the change(s) to the part and then Group again. (I do not need to pause and resume the Grouping. I am content to stop the Grouping all together and start over after I've made the changes).
Similarly, when I Export, I may change my mind and want to alter the part being Exported. So I want to stop the Export completely especially when it is taking a long time for "Preparing model for Export".
But it says "Dowload in Progress" and the only option is to "Restart new Export".
Is there any way to completely defeat a Grouping or Export in progress to return to the Workplane ?

I have a photo that I've recoloured to black and white, and then converted to an SVG file so that I can turn it into a printable model, but Tinkercad seems to refuse to import it unless it's under 100KB, despite saying that the maximum size for imported files is 25MB.
The original image resolution is 2240x1260, and the SVG for it is around 1.3MB. Trying to import this file just results in Tinkercad attempting to load before eventually failing after about 5-10 minutes.
I've made progressively smaller and smaller versions since trying to find one that's large enough to preserve the image detail but small enough to still actually import. What I find weird is that there is an either-or situation going on: one scaled down version of the photo is 512x288 resolution, with the SVG coming in at about 95KB, and this appears in the workplane after less than a minute of importing; whereas, a slightly larger version at 528x297 resolution and the SVG at 103KB, just does the same thing as the full-size image: it loads for 5-10 minutes before failing. A relatively small difference in size and resolution results in literal minutes worth of loading time difference, with 100KB seeming to be the "fence" where this occurs.
Anyone able to weigh in on solutions or workarounds to get these to load in properly without failing after minutes of doing seemingly nothing?

Hello! I’m seeking advice on building out a workplan for a small project I’m working on with my team. It should be simple, but I think the way I plan (task-oriented) is butting heads with the way my supervisor plans (big picture). Wondering if anyone has a good template or general advice on how to structure purpose, outcomes, action items, and timeline in a neat doc. I think the goal of the workplan itself should be that the project’s purpose and tasks are clear to anyone who looks at the doc.
Thank you!
