Trade design iteration speed for documentation quality once reached a stable release. #4

The bolts', nuts' 3D models have the decimate modifier applied to increase performance. This makes them look demolished in the engineering drawings, e.g. as seen in commit 5b5c1e9d.

In this case it is not of high importance because the bolts are not manufactured by oneself (in general). Therefore 100% exactness is of minor relevance, only the general dimensions are of interest.

Nevertheless after reaching testing phase or a stable release, the documentation should be enhanced, i.e. the performance optimizations will be omitted to increase quality.

In the current development state though, high speed to allow quicker design iteration is of higher importance than 100% exact documentation.
