The problem is described in the following images
In Part Design, trying the boolean fusion operation between the two bodies, separated from each other, of the figure
I have as a result of the fusion the only active body.
I think the explanation is in the following documentation:
https://wiki.freecad.org/PartDesign_Bod ... uous_solid
where it is written that “A PartDesign Body is intended to model a single contiguous solid. The meaning of "contiguous" is an element made in one piece, with no moving parts, or disconnected solids.”
However in the following tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9l1zYnMj4g
we see how the fusion between the two bodies produces a body with both solids separated
Am I doing something wrong?

Re: Part Design error in boolean operation (fuse)
Yes, you are watching a 5 or 6 year-old video. I believe the "fusion" was done in something other than Part Design, perhaps Part WB. (The video is pretty blurred.)
You cannot have two separate solids in a single Part Design body.

Thanks for the reply.
I also thought the same way, ie that he did the fusion in Part WB, but I captured the frame before pressing the [Boolen Fusion] button and it turns out to be in Part Desig WB. See following image.

Please do not zip a FCStd file, it's already a zip file (you can open it to see different files).

Re: Part Design error in boolean operation (fuse)
I think he has buttons/features from Part wb inside PartDesign wb :
* he has three boolean operation icons in the menu (and twice the same)
* PD wb has only one icon
* PART wb has the button with blue and white part : Part_Cut
* the PD boolean operation doesn't work like that, but PART fuse does.
So this button is from Part wb.
