This and many other threads, here and in other social media, basically say is it's inconvenient and doesn't work like other CAD systems. Again for years. In fact a lot of people is complaining about the assurdity of the one body/one solid rule. Is it a good reason? I don't know. By yourself admissi...

just because you personally don't need something does not mean it's not worth having I didn't say I don't want it. Just asked to better understand the need. Anyway I think that to implement it you have to copy the given sketch into a new temporary sketch. Then you have to add an outer rectangle def...

I do not understand the need to add the option "Remove outside" to a pocket considering that you may already get the same result adding (to the sketch) a closed profile (in example a rectangle) which encloses the sketch and the projection (on the sketch plane) of the base feature.

Good idea. But then let also change the thread title into something like "Allowing more solids in a Body container".

Yes. And it is a pointless rule.

here are multiple situations where it would not be obvious on plain sight that the body has multiple solids Ok could be not so evident when you open a document with several bodies which was prepared by another person. If it was made by yourself you should have noticed the solilds when working in th...

Do you really need a tag to see that there is more than one solid ? If so I think you have a serious problem.

No argument has been presented that supports not allowing this, so by default the conclusion is that it should be permitted, so the only complaint left to be discussed is what words to use to communicate such things. +1 to be precise: no argument accepted by you. But as participation here is rather...

@realthunder just to clarify: Moving Split_i0 (or Split_i1) to a different body would not be really important to me. If I have extruded them from a single sketch in the same Body, it is because I wanted to have both there. But the fact that apparence/color cant't be applied to split_i0, split_i1 see...

to get the same results in catia one would actually first add manually two bodies and then create the sketch and two profile outputs from the sketch that would then be used to create individual extrudes (pad's in catia) for two solids in the two bodies (if one would follow a bit cleaner workflow on...
