    nice one! I like that you're just making the features you wish you had for what you do often. I'm curious, do you version all the time? How'd you get to V99 on this one?

    Oh wow, this will come in handy.

    @Evan_Reese
    I re-title the version so that when people are scrolling through the featurescript search box, my feature will stand out. Ex: "Woah V99, this must be a good feature..."

    haha, I like the strategy. I still wish there was a better way to find good (i.e. complete and functional) custom features.

    Agreed, there is is featurescripts.bubbleapps.io, but not many people use that. Perhaps we can start a request and get other featurscripters to up it.

    My team keeps asking me for more of the extrude functionality to be included in this tool so I took a crack at implementing some of the other end conditions and functionality of the extrude tool.

    Yoink! Definitely going in my toolbar. This is very natural way of modelling to me as a DCC (Maya, Max etc) user.

    Great stuff!
