Currently, when you have multiple surfaces that enclose a watertight volume, if you stitch them together, it automatically converts the volume into a solid. It would be nice to have a checkbox option that maintains the stitched quilt as a surface body.
I can't remember what I was working on when I noticed this, but it was frustrating at the time. I often want to represent a volume, but don't want it to have mass. It may be a volume representing the inside of a hopper, or it could be a defined space that things need to be outside etc. I realise you could fudge the material density to give zero mass, but this seems counter-productive. Problem is, I can't remember why I wanted them stitched. I'm sure it'll come back to me, and I'll reply here.
One reason is for construction surfaces. Or you need to use them for CAM but want to be able to exclude all surfaces from your drawing. So the data you add to manufacture the part can easily be excluded from the drawing.
