This tutorial is specially designed for beginners. You'll discover the essential features of the software and create your first project in no time. 1. Pad The Pad command is the most basic tool for adding material. Action: It extrudes (pulls) a 2D sketch into a 3D solid. Typical Use: Creating the main body of a part, like turning a circle into a cylinder. 2. Pocket The Pocket command is the most basic tool for removing material. Action: It cuts a shape into an existing solid based on a 2D sketch. Typical Use: Creating holes, slots, or recesses in your part. 3. Thickness The Thickness command (often called "Shelling" in other CAD software) turns a solid object into a hollow shell. Action: You select one or more faces to remove (the "opening"), and the tool gives the remaining walls a uniform thickness. Typical Use: Turning a solid block into a container, a box, or a pipe.
