Single Body Parts
The most basic part type can vary greatly in complexity from just a few features
to a complex design. The distinguishing features are that it is composed of
one material and one solid body, of which the thickness can vary.
A single body part contains one solid body that shares
a collection of one or more features. A single body part
defines a single item in a parts list.

iParts
Most designers have parts that differ by size, material, or other variables, but
the same basic design works in many models.
An iPart is a table driven master part that
configures standard parts to different sizes
and states. The table can be edited within
Inventor or externally in a spreadsheet.
Each row can control feature state (en-
abled or suppressed), and many other
variables such as feature size, color, mater-
ial, and part number. Table driven iFea-
tures can also be included in an iPart
table.
