Re-naming created body with API?

Hi everyone! I have been able to find some resources on renaming components with the API, but no luck finding anything for renaming bodies. Is this possible? The Add-On our team is working on creates a new body via a 0mm offset and then a 3mm thicken, but the body is named something arbitrary like 'body456' - is there any way to choose what this name will be, or edit it after creating?

Thank you so much in advance for your help / insight!

''' Offset Feature ''' # Create input entities for offset feature inputEntities = adsk.core.ObjectCollection.create() for face in faces: inputEntities.add(face) # Distance for offset feature distance = adsk.core.ValueInput.createByString('0 mm') # Create an input for offset feature offsetFeatures = features.offsetFeatures offsetInput = offsetFeatures.createInput( inputEntities, distance, adsk.fusion.FeatureOperations.NewBodyFeatureOperation) # Create the offset feature # offsetFeatures.add(offsetInput) offsetBody = offsetFeatures.add(offsetInput) ''' Thicken Feature ''' # Create the thicken feature thickenFeatures = features.thickenFeatures inputSurfaces = adsk.core.ObjectCollection.create() thickenFaces = offsetBody.faces for face in thickenFaces: inputSurfaces.add(face) thickness = adsk.core.ValueInput.createByString('3 mm') thickenInput = thickenFeatures.createInput( inputSurfaces, thickness, False, adsk.fusion.FeatureOperations.NewBodyFeatureOperation) thickenedBody = thickenFeatures.add(thickenInput)

Simply use the BRepBody.name method, you can find the documentation here.

In your case, you probably need to do something along those lines:

thickenFeature = thickenFeatures.add(thickenFeatureInput) thickenedBody = thickenFeature.bodies.item(0) #Assuming only one body is created/modified through this feature thickenedBody.name = 'Name of the body'
