It could be a single Wiki article to describe all commands or one article per parametric object + the main one.

I was thinking on having a few planes made with TechDraw to show the main dimensions.

A photo of the product might help, just saying. And Google didn't help.

I was giving a try to the workbench (working btw) when in the dividers part I get an error, decided to test the macro both the one from main branch and the one from #11 and all of them have the same error.

I don't know if something changed on copy or FreeCAD but the previous code doesn't work, I tried a lot of changes with the Part commands and deepcopy but nothing really worked, without the copies you only get the last horizontal/vertical dividers.

The last 2 days I have been testing your Macro and I totally like it.
The only drawback I had while using it it was with the z unit height constraint, it is restrictive with very small vertical spaces.
I have a 55mm height desk drawer, I designed a through hole resistor box (available at cults3d) and with only 48 mm available for boxes, 10mm boxes wouldn't leave space for resistors, with 20mm boxes would have use more grids, so I used 15mm boxes and I can stack 3 boxes allowing up to 18 different resistor values per 3 square grid units.
The macro will be more flexible if it allows to specify the z height directly in mm in the GUI versus having to modify the z unit height in the code.
As I showed, this consideration is relevant in small closed spaces, in an open space on a shelf seems irrelevant. Anyway now my resistors are happily organized in 9 square grid units.
Greetings.

Was the box volume reduction intentional when creating a ledge for the label/grip?
