Shape:

Sketch: A constrained 2D depiction of an object fixed to a plane or a Face. In FreeCAD a Sketch is always a 2-dimensional object somewhere in the 3D space. Sketcher: A workbench used to create 2D geometry by use of constraints. Stable: A nickname for the last general release version of the FreeCAD software. This is typically the version available from sources other than the FreeCAD project. Compare with Unstable. STL: STereoLithography, also known as Standard Tessellation Language. A mesh file format defining only the surface of a 3D object. File extensions is *.stl STEP:

SVG: Scalable Vector Graphics. A vector graphics file format. Sweep:

T

Thickness:

A Part Workbench tool to hollow out a solid and leave a defined uniform thickness. Toggle:

Torus: A primitive shape. Tracker:

U
Union:

Unstable: A nickname for a very recent version of the FreeCAD software. This version will contain many changes recently implemented by the developers. It does not typically fail or produce wrong results, but it has not completed testing. Upgrade:
