It's the difference between whether you're introduced to 3D via CAD or
via 'math'. Architectural design uses XY as the floorplan plane, so Z
becomes up, while math uses cartesian coordinates XY as relative to
view-plane. Clearly, the architectural method is superior, (wink) as it
isn't dependent on individual point of view.

Indeed. And then you have also those systems with Y up, but left- (POV-Ray)
or right-handed (Wings3D, Silo). Does not matter much, but sometimes you
have to remember that.

Indeed, or in the case of these old eyes; introduced by
Technical/Engineering drawing. Using paper and pencil (2H), T-square and
setsquare.

You know how to recognize them? They are bald (from slapping their head)

One option which comes back to my mind is an "Export only" option as a
checkbox in Flags/Bounding box block.
It'd allow to simply declare an object, export the declaration and use only
copies of the object either in a group, GSG or a piece of code.
I know there is a workaround : create the object, duplicate as referenced
and uncheck "Export" Box (even export box of the reference copy if you want
to use it in a piece of code) but this creates useless objects as in the
browser as in the select tab.
I'd like a 3D spline editor as well which could export POV splines useable
in macros or pieces of code.

This is a feature I could use. Hand editing splines is not fun.
