i just started to learn FreeCAD yesterday but today i ran into a problem, i'm not able to solve myself. I used the search, but i probably don't know the correct lingo yet.
FreeCAD Version:

Locale: German/Germany (de_DE)
Installed mods:

Problem:
I created a Body based on two Sketches:
1st sketch = the "base"
2nd sketch = a pocket
looks good so far:
I now added another plane (according to this video: https://youtu.be/4uEwHB7LciA?t=720) and a third sketch on that plane, to create another pocket.
The first thing that was frustrating was, that the new rectangle for that (in Sketcher) was behind the existing pads and when i turned the existing pad and pocket off and only sketches on, the existing sketches were not drawn. So i had to "freestyle" the positioning and pocketing. (I'm sure that is a user issue ).
The second thing is, that the 3D View of the body is destroyed and does not display, what (i thought) i drew. When i turn off the Pocket001, the model looks fine again:
I'm sure, that i did something wrong, but i would appreciate some help!
