Arch
A FreeCAD Workbench used primarily for modelling buildings and structures. Closely related to the Draft(1) Workbench.
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.
Constraint
A restriction on the geometric relationship between primitives in a Sketch.
Draft
A FreeCAD Workbench used primarily for 2 dimensional work.
A relief angle on a mold to allow removal of the finished product.
Drawing
A FreeCAD Workbench used to generate presentations of a Model.
Extrude
A general term for extending a 2D object into 3D along 1 direction. See also Pad.
Face
A 2 dimensional topological construct. For example, a cube has 6 Faces.
Feature
A step in a 3d part's evolution in the Part Design Workbench workflow. Examples are Pad, Pocket, Groove, Fillet, etc.
Golf
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
OpenCascade
The geometry kernel (library) underlying FreeCAD. Also called OCC, OCCT, OCE. http://www.opencascade.org/
Pad
An extension of a Sketch in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the Sketch. See also Extrude.
Part
A FreeCAD Workbench primarily used for a Constructive Solid Geometry workflow.
A unibody solid. The lowest level component in an assembly.
Pocket
A Feature that removes material from a solid based on a Sketch
Quebec
Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.
Romeo
Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
Sketch
A constrained 2D depiction of an object fixed to a plane or a Face.
Stable
A nickname for the last general release version of the FreeCAD software. This is typically the version available from sources other than the FreeCAD project. Compare with Unstable.
Unstable
A nickname for a very recent version of the FreeCAD software. This version will contain many changes recently implemented by the developers. It does not typically fail or produce wrong results, but it has not completed testing.
Zulu
Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

A

ANSI

ANSI stands for American National Standards Institute. It oversees the development of various standards.

Arch

Arch is a workbench focusing on Architecture modeling. It uses tools from the Draft workbench.

B

C

CAM

CAM stands for Computer Aided Manufacturing.

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.
