The “face_strength” parameter is used in the Weighted Normal modifier to calculate normals. We can set and change its values by calling a special operator, or directly getting and setting its values through the Blender Python API.

Custom properties in the Blender Python API can be limited to setting with maximum and minimum values. In this case, the user, entering the desired value to the property field, will not be able to set a value that goes beyond the specified limits.
To set the minimum and maximum limits, we can specify the “min” and “max” parameters in our custom property and assign them the necessary limiting values.
For quickly finding the desired node in the Node Editor in the search box it is enough to type only the first letters from the node’s name.
This method works both in the shader node editor and in the Geometry Nodes search system.
For example, to search for the “Set Curve Radius” node, it is enough to type only the “SCR” letters in the search field. And to search for the “Principle BSDF” node, just type “PB”.
When we use “Position”, “Index”, “Normal” or any other nodes from the “Input” group in Blender Geometry Nodes we need to be clear about exactly what information they provide.

The Point, Sun, Spot, and Area lights are not meshes, so we can’t assign an Array modifier to them. However, to conveniently and quickly create dynamic sets of lights in one or more rows, we can use the snapping trick.
When entering the object’s local view mode by pressing the “/” key in the viewport window, zooming is automatically turned on so that the selected object occupies the entire window space. However, this is not always convenient.
To disable auto-zoom in local view mode:
Now, when switching to isolated mode, auto-zoom will not turn on.
