Padded Sketch comprises too many solids (FreeCAD) Under FreeCAD, I sketched on the face of a solid as follows :



My problem is, when I use "Pad a selected sketch", the solid created comprises also the original solid.



It prevents me, for instance, to get the difference with the first one.

Any idea what may be causing this? How to prevent it?

Ok, I got help on this forum thread

Using Part Extrude instead of Pad a selected sketch on the sketch will create an independent solid.

It also turns out that, instead of creating the second solid to do a boolean difference, the good way to "cut" my solid is using the PartDesign Pocket tool.
