: The basic building blocks. These are individual 3D objects created from 2D sketches.
SolidWorks operates through three primary document types that work together to create a complete design:
: 2D technical documents used for manufacturing, containing critical information like dimensions and section views. The Design Workflow
: You turn 2D sketches into 3D geometry using features like Extruded Boss/Base (adding material) or Extruded Cut (removing material).
