The SpaceClaim interface describes objects slightly differently than other modeling software you might be familiar with.
A SpaceClaim .scdoc file may contain any combination of design versions, associated drawing sheets, and 3D markup
slides.
A design is a 2D or 3D model, which contains at least one top-level component.
A component consists of any number of objects, such as solids and surfaces. You can think of a component as a "part." A component can also contain any number of sub-components. You can think of a hierarchy of components and subcomponents as an "assembly."
An object is anything recognizable by SpaceClaim tools. For example, 3D objects include vertices, edges, faces, surfaces, solids, layouts, planes, axes, and origins. 2D objects include points and lines.
Examples of some object types are shown below:

In SpaceClaim, a body is a solid or surface.
Components are aligned using assembly constraints. See Assigning assembly conditions
