Complete index of all Part workbench tools, grouped by function.

Primitives¶

Parametric shapes that can be resized at any time by changing their properties.

Tool	Description
Cube	Parametric rectangular box
Cylinder	Parametric cylinder
Sphere	Parametric sphere
Cone	Parametric cone or frustum
Torus	Parametric torus (donut)
Tube	Parametric hollow cylinder with inner and outer radius
Primitives dialog	Additional parametric shapes: Plane, Helix, Spiral, Circle, Ellipse, Wedge, Vertex, Line, Regular Polygon
Shape Builder	Compose new shapes from vertices, edges, wires, and faces

Tool	Description
Shape from Mesh	Wrap a mesh object as a Part shape
Points from Shape	Extract vertices from a shape as a Points object
Convert to Solid	Convert a shell or surface shape to a closed solid
Reverse Shapes	Flip the face normals of a shape

Tool	Description
Simple Copy	Create a static, non-parametric copy of a shape
Transformed Copy	Copy a shape with an applied placement transform
Shape Element Copy	Copy a single face, edge, or vertex from a shape
Refine Shape	Remove redundant edges and merge co-planar faces

Tool	Description
Boolean (dialog)	General Boolean dialog supporting Cut, Fuse, Common, and Section on two selected shapes
Cut	Subtract one shape from another
Fuse (Union)	Merge two shapes into one
Common (Intersection)	Keep only the volume shared by two shapes

Topology-aware operations for walled/hollow solids that preserve their hollow character through Boolean-like joins.

Tool	Description
Connect Shapes	Fuse two walled objects sharing an edge, connecting their interiors
Embed Shapes	Embed a smaller walled solid inside a larger one
Cutout Shape	Cut a hole in a walled solid matching an embedded object

Advanced Boolean operations that split shapes rather than just merging or removing them.

Tool	Description
Boolean Fragments	Split all input shapes at every mutual intersection
Slice Apart	Cut a shape into separate objects using a tool shape
Slice to Compound	Cut a shape and keep all fragments as a single compound
Boolean XOR	Keep only the non-overlapping portions of two shapes

Tool	Description
Make Compound	Group multiple shapes into a single compound object
Explode Compound	Split a compound back into its constituent shapes
Compound Filter	Extract specific sub-shapes from a compound by type or index

Tool	Description
Extrude	Push a face or wire along a direction to create a solid or shell
Revolve	Spin a profile around an axis to create a solid of revolution
Mirror	Reflect a shape about a plane
Scale	Scale a shape by XYZ factors
Fillet	Round selected edges of a shape
Chamfer	Bevel selected edges of a shape
Face from Wires	Create a flat face from one or more closed wire profiles
Ruled Surface	Create a surface by linearly blending two edges or wires
Loft	Blend through a series of cross-section profiles to form a solid
Sweep	Sweep a profile along a spine path to create a solid
Section	Find the cross-section wire where two shapes intersect
Cross-Sections	Generate multiple parallel cross-section wires through a shape
Offset 3D Surface	Offset all faces of a solid outward or inward
Offset 2D	Offset a 2-D wire or face in its plane
Thickness	Hollow out a solid to a uniform wall thickness
Projection on Surface	Project wires, edges, or faces onto a target surface

Tool	Description
Check Geometry	Analyse a shape for OCCT validity errors
Defeaturing	Remove selected faces from a solid to simplify it
Persistent Section Cut	Live clipping plane that cuts a persistent cross-section view
Appearance per Face	Assign different materials or colours to individual faces
