Body Operation: The Body Operation feature allows you to manipulate bodies. Any type of body can be
used with body operations, regardless of whether it is active or frozen. However, point feature points
(PF points), attached to the faces or edges of the selected bodies, and are not affected by the body
operation.
The Body Operation feature is available via the Create Menu. It has up to ten options, although not all of
them will be available at all times. For selections, bodies are selected via the Apply/Cancel button
property in the Details View. Planes are also selected via the Apply/Cancel button property.
