- Callout
- String of text connected to a line pointing to an object in a drawing.
- Chamfer
- The cutting off of an edge, at an angle, to get rid of its sharpness; a beveled edge.
- Clipping Plane
- The clipping plane is used to cut away at the model in the 3D view. It is just a visual aid and does not actually cut the model.
- Clone
- A copy of an object whereby the copy remains parametric. When the original object is changed the Clone(s) also change to show modifications made to the original object.
- Coin
- Also called Coin3D. Third-party software library used for 3D representation by FreeCAD.
- COLLADA
- An interchange file format for mesh models. File extension is *.dae.
- Command
- An action invoked from the Gui when you press a toolbar button or type a keyboard shortcut or type into the python console.
- Compound
- Groups objects together without fusing them like a boolean union would.
- CompSolid
- Set of solids connected by their faces. CompSolids are needed in FEM, where more than one material is used in one FEM-mesh.
- Constraint
- A restriction on the geometric relationship between primitives in a Sketch. If a constraint has a numerical value, it is referred to as Datum (e.g., a distance constraint has a numerical value - the length of an imaginary line connecting the two points). A constraint that has no numerical value (e.g., a Horizontal constraint) is sometimes referred to as Geometric Constraint.
- Constructive Solid Geometry
- A solid modeling method for creating shapes by using boolean operations on primitives.
- Coordinate
- A number which defines the position of an object in space in reference to a coordinate system.
- Coplanar
- Existing on the same plane.
- CSG
- Short for Constructive Solid Geometry.
- Cut
- Applying a boolean difference between shapes.
