What did you Intend? Family Editing Issues

There is a stock family that dates back to the very earliest of days, Desk.rfa. It's a good example of a family that confuses users routinely. The issue is that the desk top isn't visible in plan and it overhangs the edge of the chassis of the desk.

When in plan we can align the desk but find in a 3D view that it now overlaps another or something else, like a wall for example.

When we make content it helps the end user a lot if such inconsistencies don't exist. Here's a video that shows what I'm writing about too.
