Bodies and Geometrical Sets

Bodies and geometrical sets are containers for 2D and 3D geometrical features. See Part Design User's Guide: Associating Bodies for more information.

You can use geometrical sets to collect 2D and 3D geometrical features in a container. You can select a geometrical set to help you visualize your model or as the support for a feature.

For example, when you extract the medial surface corresponding to a thin solid, you can gather the features corresponding to the midsurface in a geometrical set. You can then use the context menu to hide or show either the original body (the solid containing the thin solid) or the geometrical set (the medial surface).
