Sheet metal flange tool and surface bodies

Sheet metal flange tool and surface bodies

We often need to draw sheet metal parts over top of a reference surface bodies. It would be nice if the flange tool's Height extents "To" option could snap "To" a point on the surface geometry. Same with the "Width extents" options. It seems like these tools currently work only with other solid bodies.

This is a serious lack of functionality.
