The release notes include the entry "Added a Template system for inheriting properties from other objects". Is there some documentation of what this Template system is and how to use it?

you can activate in quick properties tool an inheritance option. You can set and change properties from exclusion of inheritance. You copy the object and each copy is a child object marked by a blue spline line, when highlighted. The parent object controls the child properties, which aren’t excluded. In 3D Object Library there is a template. You can drag it into your model. It is a feature of Object-oriented programming. A competitor in discrete event driven simulation programs has got this feature for more than 15 years.

Thanks for this bug report. I've added a case to the dev list for the exception and to document the Frustum Culling checkbox.

Frustum Culling can be used to not draw an object's contents if that object is not being drawn by the view. For example, if you check that box on a Visual Tool, then the contents of that Visual Tool will not be drawn if the Visual Tool's yellow box is not visible in the 3D view.

If you organize your model into containers, you can use frustum culling to improve the framerate of the 3D view when those containers are not visible by entirely skipping the draw of the objects in those containers.
