Find Onshape's Profile Inspector and Shape Inspector tools to be very helpful

It is very difficult to debug complex operations because it is hard to verify what profiles or objects have been selected for an operation, especially if tiny profiles are included. Onshape's lists where you can hover over each component and highlight each element is very helpful in these circumstances.

Can you provide an example of this for those of us that don't work with OnShape?

This extrude profile has overlapping areas. I can Zoom in, and highlight each area in the list on the left to see it highlighted in the drawing area. This way I can see what was included or excluded to debug.

If I go back to an extrude in Fusio, all I can do is click on the geometry to verify the area I desire are included/excluded. Have used this ability to recreate object other people have built and verify I am building them correctly.

In this case where the extrude is to a face on another object I can hover the item in the extrude list an Onshape highlights the face so I can see which exactly was selected. In Fusion the Select button gives no information on what the selection is and leads to confusion when trying to understand how an object was created.
