I have updated my Visio Visual Section document with more sections and more information. It is available on my Download page.  https://johnvisiomvp.ca/downloads/

I also created a Shape Explorer to be able to explore shapes to find information for the Visio Visual Section document. I blogged about the explorer here https://johnvisiomvp.ca/2023/02/05/visio-visual-sections-update/

Great work John!

What I cannot find out about on the Microsoft website, is information on what kind of features of a shape can slow a shape down significantly so it affects user experience dealing with large diagrams (this is for diagrams that have 500+ group shapes and a 1000+ subshapes in those groups).

For instance: in the Basic Shapes stencil, I have used the rounded rectangle shape as a subshape. This one is complicated with quite a few user fields and actions. I wonder if that slows down a large diagram unnecessarily (when Visio rerenders it after a change), or if it doesn't matter.

Again thank you for sharing your insights!
