Overview

Compare Bodies is a Fusion 360 add-in that allows you to compare two selected bodies directly within the design environment.

After selecting two bodies, the tool calculates and compares:

• Volume
• Surface area
• Geometry similarity (based on face and edge counts)

This tool is ideal for validating duplicate geometry or tolerance-based differences.
