The Sheetmetal design environment now fully supports multibody functionality, enabling you to create multiple sheet metal bodies as well as the solid bodies you could previously design. With this enhancement, you can now design multibody parts and separate them into distinct parts. Each body can have its own thickness, and there have been changes to how sheet metal parameters are handled. The multibody support includes common operations like Boolean Operations, Split, Trim, Remove, Copy, Pattern, and Mirror.

Additionally, flat states can be created for each body, allowing you to visualize them together. You can also create flat instances or simplified representations for use in downstream tasks, such as creating drawings.
