Why i have just 5 entities ?

Is entities just what i draw inwireframe?

then why 5 if I draw 4?

 

Can someone explain me that?

 

Cause i can select entities like here image.thumb.png.d38a22a9739f696209b659b86978fd77.png

I cant select it as separated entities. Is it norma? Can someone explain.

I create a rectangle and extrude it in -.5 depth.

 

Is it because there is no line but its just solid?

4 Wireframe entities

1 solid body

 

 

5 entities on the screen

Now, do not alter those entities or your solid will break....there is a method under the Model Prep tab called Remove History.

That will remove the link to all of the defining wireframe and operations to create the solid and turn it into a dumb solid with no history

No you can start push pulling the solid and making it different sizes and adding radii to all the edges without ever creating any wireframe if you choose to. You can then also program that complete block with Opti-Rough and never have the 1st wireframe on the screen. I am old school like many others who have been doing this since the Dinosaurs were roaming the earth and we like the ability to do certain things certain ways and wireframe allows that type of control. Solids it getting closer, but still has along way to go before I can fully program 1000 hour projects without it.
