Re: Old/New custom feature: Intersect+ (a.k.a. Subtract complement)
@MichaelPascoe that request ended up being the impetus for me to develop Better Than Boolean since the bosses didn't end up signing off on it and I needed a tool for personal projects. I did have to wrestle with the wonders of combinatorics hell with my version which implements a collision check map to minimize the number of intersection booleans that the script runs for cases where you have more than a handful of input bodies at once.
How can I generate a mass override with equations
I am making a parametric chain for FTC robotics and in an effort to simplify rendering it is a hitbox for all the links, how can I use a variable as the mass property override for the part? I have a variable with the mass already but says "enter a valid expression"

Re: Old/New custom feature: Intersect+ (a.k.a. Subtract complement)
We really need that Feature Store.
In case you want it, here is one I made a while back but never really published. Takes a little different approach.
It was originally intended for @Derek_Van_Allen_BD to match the SolidWorks intersect feature. 😎
Intersect (CADSharp)
Intersect everything, and select the instances you want to keep or get rid of.

Old/New custom feature: Intersect+ (a.k.a. Subtract complement)
This feature is so easy to code that there are probably many of them, but due to custom feature's being hard to search/find and names aren't always as clear, I did so once over a while back.
I just took the effort to add an icon, a pdf and publish it so it might be easier to find for others:
Intersect+ (a.k.a. Subtract complement)
Re: opBoolean() with BooleanOperationType.INTERSECTION fails with @opBoolean: BOOLEAN_BAD_INPUT
you could consider BooleanOperationType.SUBTRACT_COMPLEMENT if you want to essentially do an interesection but keep the control over tool/target. (because target retains it's identity), and allow multiple tools to intersect with only one target.
This may make your for loop obsolete
Re: Add Custom Feature button is completely missing?
You're looking at an Assembly; custom features are only available in Part Studios.

Re: Custom Feature: Loft Fillet
@EvanReese every single feature I've ever written getting scope creeped right out of the starting gate because I work with people that can't keep their splines and edge cases out of the mix.
