Gui Command explains how tools should be documented. See Draft ShapeString for an example of a well documented tool. Browse Category:UnfinishedDocu/en to see incomplete pages like this one. See Category:Command Reference/en for all commands.
See WikiPages to learn about editing the wiki pages, and go to Help FreeCAD to learn about other ways in which you can contribute.
Spinning is the ability of FreeCAD to display a dynamic rotation of the model without user interaction.
Usage
Spinning is by default enabled. To enable or disable spinning go to the Edit → Preferences menu, change to the Display settings and click on Enable animation.
To make a 3D-object spin, rotate it with the mouse and release the mouse buttons before stopping the mouse motion. The object then continues with its rotation.
View Turntable
Another way to put in rotation an object is use Tools → View turntable command
