I felt like the explanation of welding, gluing, etc. was unnecessary. But I have lots of experience with solid modeling. For me, I feel like a body is created from a collection of features that must all be connected together (hence the one contiguous solid). Features can either add material to the e...

I'm making this post so I can PM you to try to get Wiki editing permissions.

Last time I looked at FreeCAD i was not impressed. Now I am! Great job, dev team.
