Re: Complex Surfacing
Ben - we are working on all those capabilities.
In the meantime, there are some simple techniques using;
Thicken / Replace face / DeleteFace
that will do what you're looking for.
Without making any changes to the inputs (there are easier ways of doing this), here is the solution to your request -

Re: Complex Surfacing
@ben_crews, hopefully a "sew" or "knit" command is forthcoming, but for the time being you can do something similar by using the Add option instead of New when adding surface features. Take a look at my take on the design below.

Re: Surface modelling
Hi there,
You can chamfer and fillet internal edges of surfaces just as you can with solids.
We currently do not have much of the functionality you have asked about, but we are actively working on improving our surfacing workflow. And we will be making them available to you over time.
For your specific requests please go to Improvement Requests over on the right side bar, and let us know. This way we can prioritize our users needs better.

Re: Re-usable code
@john_mcclary
so would these functions need to be exported in SheetMetalStart.fs in order to access them?
Yes, so if you can follow @mbartlett21's pattern of "massaging" definition and passing it to sheetMetalStart, that would work much better.
