Can Features (or a folder of features) Be Turned Off and On as Needed?

I'm modeling a hard camera case. The camera needs to rest on surfaces precisely. I've measured as precisely as possible, but when I put the actual camera into a test print, the camera blocks view of the support surfaces, and prevents verification of fit.
My solution is to cut windows into a test print so I can view/measure fit. Then I will remove the windows and print the real thing. I would like this design to be compatible with multiple models though, and don't want to go through a cycle of deleting and re-making these view windows for every fit.
So, I want to be able to select a set of drawing(s) and extrude-remove features, and disable or re-enable them depending on whether I am doing a test or real print of the case.
Is this currently supported?

Hi @jeffrey_hawkins, yes, this is possible. What you are looking for are configurations. This learning pathway for configurations will teach you everything you need to know about them: Learning Center - Configurations
Also, feel free to share a link to your model if you need more detailed help.
