 * Hi, Guys!
    This is a question which may be less of a feature request than a beg
   for a work-around, but which is attributable to NB in conjunction with Czr (haven’t
   used NB with any other theme, so this may well apply to others): When using the‘
   Nimble Builder template’ override (available under “Current page options/Page
   template”), I lose many of the elements of the active theme’s (ie: CZR) page 
   template, almost all of which I can re-implement using NB raw out-of-the-box,
   but some which I cannot, most notably elements such as-
    - Breadcrumbs (for the replacement of which I found a Widget)
    - Post meta data (Author, Category, Written/Modified Date, etc., for the replacement
      of which I did NOT find a Widget)
    - Tag block (for the replacement of which I found a Widget)
    - Comments block (for the replacement of which I found a not quite suitable 
      Widget that offered the feature along with about a dozen other features I 
      DIDN’T need)
 * … which must be, as noted, replaced using third-party Widgets.
    I am not a master
   of PHP, or of WP for that matter, so I can only guess that what’s happening here
   is that CZR’s post model is being ignored/bypassed/circumvented by NB. I can 
   only guess further that NB will be ignoring all the other theme models as well,
   so this may apply more broadly than what I’ve addressed with my list. One thing
   I’ve tried is exporting a customized NB template, then importing it and using
   the ‘Combine’ option with ‘Default theme template’ selected, but that still leaves
   me stuck with the theme model features in areas/configurations I really want 
   to, but yet cannot, manipulate with NB. I may be asking more of NB than what 
   it is intended to do, but here are my best stabs at the question: 1) can we set
   it up so that NB has direct access to customization of theme model features/blocks
   that are included only when ‘Default theme template’ is selected under ‘Current
   page options’; or conversely 2) can we get access to those theme model features
   after having imported a NB file using the ‘Combine’ option as explained above?

 * Hello,
    Nimble Builder can only act on elements created with Nimble Builder. 
   So none of the element generated by the theme will be modified using Nimble Builder.
