Is there a good ‘tips and tricks’ guide anywhere that explains these foibles? Without the help of people on this forum, I don’t think I would have worked out what the problem was by myself.
Experience and the forum are pretty much it. Some day I may publish my personal notes... 8-)

The Sketcher Lecture is over 70 pages and is under continuous review and update. (thanks! @chrisb)
The problem of writing the "t&t" guide is, it would change daily, rival or exceed the Lecture in length, and be rather confounding to those without the experience to write. At least, IMO. ;)

Just said, that if you make a helix shape, where the boundaries like here the outer diameter, should be round diameter, is not a round, it is a BSpline. This is the reason why the tangency and coplanar issue here is tightened.
