That picture was the least scariest I had ... and I couldn't find a suitable Lorax look-alike.

I like the Lorax, since I feel like I have to make up words half the time to describe SW's issues anyway.

- Construction sketch(es) and curves are very helpful, almost a requirement.
- Really plan out first, even on paper, as curves can be confusing.
- visualize a 3D sketch as routing.
- start every 3D sketch with a straight line segment; this gets the 'routing' started in proper orientation and direction vector.
- dimension constraints really help and dimension as much as possible from coordinate system keeping dimensions in only one or two planar orientations.
- Spaceball or other 3D manipulator is almost a requirement.
In example quoted above I fail to see how this person's 3D sketch remains parametric after all underlying features are deleted; the technique seems to have you doing everything twice.

Delete the solid bodies ("delete body" feature in the tree), not delete the features that created the solid body. If the "delete body" feature comes after the 3D sketch in the tree, parametricicitiness is retained.

He deletes the body, not the feature. The DeleteBody feature comes after the 3D sketch, so the sketch is not losing any feature/edge references.
