Some items to discuss:

  1. SVGs that are perfectly valid are not necessarily valid build123d imports
  2. one common issue is overlapping vertices along a path that leads to degenerate zero-length edges
  3. another common issue is self intersecting paths, which OCCT does not accept as valid. One possible workaround for this is Path -> Union followed by Path -> Break Apart in Inkscape.

Other points to raise?
