I would like a tool for adding 'green' material (material that will be cut off later) to a flat pattern. This would work similar to the Thicken command in that you would select the edges/faces you want 'green' added to and how much material to add. However (very important) the original edge should be preserved in some way, preferably as a split line in the face so that this can be marked on during the cutting process.
The only current options for doing this are Move Face or by creating a sketch, drawing the 'green' and extruding it. In neither case is the original edge preserved.
The Split tool should also be added to the Flat Pattern work bench for adding additional mark lines. I know these can be done with sketches but splits are neater in some cases
