Body

Introduction
In FreeCAD the word "Body" is normally used to refer to a PartDesign Body object ( class) that is defined by the PartDesign Workbench. This is a container object that can hold 2D sketches and 3D geometrical features to build a solid shape.

See PartDesign Body for more information about this type of object.

How to use

 * 1) Switch to the PartDesign Workbench.
 * 2) Press.
 * 3) Press  to create a new sketch.
 * 4) Create a closed drawing, and then use  to extrude the sketch, and create an initial solid.
 * 5) Add more sketches and pads, and use other tools of the PartDesign Workbench to modify and transform the initial solid.

Alternatively, instead of using sketches, you can add primitive PartDesign Features, for example, a. Any number of additive and subtractive features can be used to create a final volume.
