Re: Struggling with extruding a cube
Now that the "native" derive allows multiple instances and placement on mate connectors you don't even need the point derive.
That said a "generic" method for both adding and removing material in one step would be nice. Like the "form tools" but for "regular" geometry.
Re: Struggling with extruding a cube
For this kind of thing it's an easier lift to draw a configurable part studio like you have and use the custom Point Derive feature to greeble your geometry into other documents rather than trying to code up a full custom feature from scratch to accomplish the goal. Sometimes I'll use a method I like to call two-point-derives-in-a-trenchcoat to pseudo make custom features that are easy to model and hard to program.
