Question CAD
% platform category

	Does AutoCAD support multi-part solid bodies?
	Yes, so called "multi-lump" volume bodies, 3D ACIS solids containing several distinct solid parts are supported and you can even create them in AutoCAD. Try to draw a couple of not intersecting 3D boxes or spheres (the `BOX` or `SPHERE` commands) and join them into one body with the `UNION` command.
