Re: New FS: Extract Flat - creates solid body of a Sheet Metal Flat

@joshtargo cool feature! It did jog my memory though and there's already a custom feature doing this. Keep it up though. I've been loving seeing your new features coming through. Cool stuff.

As for setting the name to match another part I don't believe it's possible since the name is a part property and the part properties are calculated after feature regeneration when the model rebuilds so they don't exist for your feature code to access.

qAllModifiableSolidBodiesNoMesh
qHasAttribute
qHasAttributeWithValue
qHasAttributeWithValueMatching
qOpHoleProfile
qOpHoleFace
qToleranceFilter (marked internal)
qSourceMesh with EntityType
qEdgeVertex (for getting the edge vertices at start and end rather than having to filter with a qAdjacent)
qTangentConnectedFaces with a tangency tolerance
qInFrontOfPlane
areQueriesEquivalent
isQueryEmpty
qCoincidentFilter (marked internal)

Best way to warn user of something without overriding active info messages?

I've got a feature that is reporting some useful info most of the time using reportFeatureInfo(). There are some cases where I'd like to let the user know something isn't quite right, without totally ending the feature and replacing that message. I'd like to turn the feature red and let the user see a message on mouseover of the feature without replacing the message from reportFeatureInfo(). Any way to do this?
