Maybe a more direct question:
Why face shouldn't be created in Body? What are the downsides? Or it just comes down to the fact nobody has added the feature yet and there are basically no other fundamental issues involved?

Re: PartDesign Feature Request: multi face sketch extrudes
This leads to a question, why can't one add anything from other workbenches to bodies. If you think about it a bit further, out comes the equivalent of Part-o-magic's Module container

+5 It would also make work easier for subdividing faces for FEM ... see e.g. https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... ts#p149467triplus wrote:Maybe a more direct question:

Re: PartDesign Feature Request: multi face sketch extrudes
Yes you are right. Would love to see support for "boolean fragments" from Part-wb in PDN-wb!DeepSOIC wrote:This leads to a question, why can't one add anything from other workbenches to bodies. If you think about it a bit further, out comes the equivalent of Part-o-magic's Module container
The question left for me is ... are there any barriers to include sketches/faces and boolean fragments or other wb-stuff step-by-step in PDN-wb!
Re: PartDesign Feature Request: multi face sketch extrudes
I see. Therefore i am guessing at some point in the future this feature likely could be added. As on how it will be added. Some possible scenarios are:
- Add ability to use Draft Upgrade tool on Sketch or any 2D geometry that is located in PartDesign Body directly.
- Add a new PartDesign feature to create faces from 2D geometry in PartDesign Body.
- Create new workbench and reimplement features from PartDesign NEXT by lifting current limitations.

Re: PartDesign Feature Request: multi face sketch extrudes
The idea here is to let the thing you're including in the container implement what the container needs using ickby's extensions, right? I have only started studying your Part-o-magic stuff.DeepSOIC wrote:This leads to a question, why can't one add anything from other workbenches to bodies.

P.S. Why the name Module? It is a very overloaded term already.
