Split Body + Remove option in one operation

[pavmed]

The idea is to add optional feature "Remove this" or "Trim Solit" in Split Body tool.

It's often used this way but it requires two operations now: (1) split body (2) remove unnecessary parts.

How it's currently implemented in Inventor - all-in-one tool window with several tools: split face, split body and trim solid. 

and this is tool description

You can add another "Apply" button near  "ok" and "cancel". This will allow you to quickly separate the body, without having to restart the tool every time.

Hey @pavmed I completely agree with this idea. In fact one of the initiatives I've asked my team to look into is the idea of "Next Obvious" command access with our modeling features. The objective is to speed the time to complete. Examples we are looking at include split and remove, mirror and join, web and draft, rib and draft, etc. Obviously this will not be an overnight project, but you should begin to see some progress to this concept over time.

Thank you for the suggestion! Keep them coming.

Hi @robcohee 

That's great!

If I were in place of dev guys I'd simply made huge probability matrix where X and Y are all operations possible and N [xy] = frequency of Y going just after X in timeline. 

You've got A LOT of data available for investigation, so this shouldn't be a problem.

Howether there're examples where tools should not be integrated together, eg. fillet going after rib, web, etc. 

I'll call my user group about tools they often use one after another and we'll see if there're some more obvious pairs.

I agree with all of the above.
