Hi @rob1.

Body is a new feature added to Part Design workbench in FreeCAD 0.17. If you are trying to use a command that requires an active Body. You will need to insert the Body feature first. Or right click on the existing Body feature (if there already is one or more of them and you would like to use one) and make it active.
