Finish Features as iFeatures

[pablo_rohrssen]

It would be great to be able to save multiple Finish Features as a configurable iFeature for ease of re-use.

If you like this idea too, please give it a vote and provide a use-case example for your work.

Pre-sets?

We are using iFeatures more and more and this would be a great time-saver. Here is a use case:

iFeature with a standard cut-out that we would put in a milled aluminum part (typically a series of cuts, holes, fillets, and chamfers). Some of the faces that are created as a result are powder coated, some are masked off, and some are marked as "overspray is permissible". We do this with Finishes using the Appearance behavior in the Finish Properties. (We don't need to model the thickness of the powder.)

When using Extract iFeature, include the ability to select the applicable Finish features in the model tree. When importing an iFeature, the Finish features would be added to the model tree and the designer could then change the color of the powder coat as needed.
