I was trying to generate URDF using original Cross workbench for FreeCAD, but as there was no tutorial, I can not continue using the tool. Indeed, I'm confused how to configure joints and positioning them using LCF (local coordinate frames) of the parts I've crated.

So I've created this issue to ask:

To the current moment (13.07.24) all new features from this fork was merged to CROSS. Difference now are "New some icons and icons reordering" and some minor changes.
