Thank you for providing this workbench to the FreeCAD community, including myself. I am using it at work to create some simple pipe systems (for example parts of a sprinkler system). In other departments we are using stainless steel pipes, valves and fittings which have different diameters then the parts provided by the workbench. This includes parts from the DIN 11851 system.

My first question is, can you provide some information how to add custom parts to the workbench. I am to unexperienced in python to understand the code here in a short time so I would be grateful for some hints.

My second question: Would it be possible to use STEP files, for example from valve vendors in a library and add them as parts? I know there is the "insert any shape" function but I am thinking of a kind of "on-click-insert" solution.
