A CATIA CATPart file is hybrid, meaning that it can contain a mixture of solids, surface (shapes) and wireframe geometry together.

So you don't have to make a special file just for the shape geometry. Instead, open the file with the solid part, change the workbench, and add the new geometry to the same file.

You can use solid geometry to make surfaces. And you can use surface geometry to make solids.

Depending on your Tools+Options settings, the solid geometry will located in the PartBody section of the tree. And the surface and wireframe geometry is normally located in Geometric Sets.

You should look into taking a class.
