If I create a sketch using newSketchOnPlane(), how do I delete it?

    You can use opDeleteBodies and pass a qCreatedBy(id + "whateverYourSketchIdIs") query to it

    Ah, looks like opDeleteBodies() will do the trick. It seems semantically odd that sketches would be considered bodies, but I guess it makes sense. False alarm.

    "Body" has a specific meaning in Onshape which includes any full, independent piece of geometry in a Part Studio, including the wire bodies in sketches. Check out the documentation for BodyType to see what I mean.

    It's just strange nomenclature is all. It's perfectly fine in terms of functionality, I guess I would just expect that class of object to be called an "object" or something. The word "body" in my mind usually does not include one-dimensional or two-dimensional geometry. It's fine, I just didn't find it intuitive.
