What's wrong with Part workbench?
It is something related to my particular workflow.
I am usimg FC to design elecctromagnetic structures which are passed to my EM solver (EmCAD) in a step file.
A typical EM structure may contain several dielectrics (modeled as solids) and several boundary conditions (applied to faces).
Dielectric properties and boundary conditions can be applied in the EmCAD GUI to the imported solids and to the imported faces.
To be precise these properties are applied to the name of the container in which the solids (or the faces) are stored because step export doesn't preserve thw names assigned to the geometrical entities (like solids or faces).
It is a good workflow. When I have many solids made of the same dielectric material I may put them in the same Body container. So I may assign to them the dielectric property in a single command. In the same way many faces subjected to the same kind of boundary condition are put in the same Body container.
The RT branch is very flexible and allows me also to have a Body that is a multi-face (instead of multi-body) container.
I would like to have this kind of flexibility also in Master. But probably it would be asking to much (considering the reaction to much simpler requests).
