Model Tree
A Model tree is a tree representation of a geometric model. A model tree consists of features and a part branch. The parts are the only objects that will be exported to <Mechanical>. The order of the objects is relevant. <DesignModeler> renders the geometry according to the order of objects in the model tree.
A model tree consists of features and a part branch.

Sketching Planes
A sketch must be created on a sketching plane; each plane may contain multiple sketches. In the very beginning of a <DesignModeler> session, three planes are automatically created: <XYPlane>, <YZPlane>, and <ZXPlane>.
[1] Currently active plane. [2] To create a new plane, click <New Plane>.

Sketches
A sketch consists of points and edges; edges may be straight lines or curves. Multiple sketches may be created on a plane.
[1] To create a new sketch on the active sketching plane, click <New Sketch>.
