Need help with a idea for a time lapse using the feature tree.

I am not a feature script guy so this is a request. Sometimes I need to record my build and most of the time I forget to hit record, yes it is lame but it happens. Is there a feature script that could walk through each feature, sketch etc and make a screenshot starting at the top of the feature tree. Then I can take that into my editing software and make a pseudo timelapse.

I would love a tool which would step through the feature tree in some sort of controlled fashion. It is possible now to select the roll back bar and use the arrow keys to roll forward (or back). If you just screen record a video of this, it might be close enough to what you want.

You could do this using the REST API. Here is an outline of the algorithm & relevant API calls

1. Get the list of features (https://cad.onshape.com/glassworks/explorer#/PartStudio/getPartStudioFeatures)
2. For each feature, move the rollback bar by 1. ( https://cad.onshape.com/glassworks/explorer#/PartStudio/updateRollback )
3. Get a snapshot of the part studio ( https://cad.onshape.com/glassworks/explorer#/PartStudio/getPartStudioShadedViews ) & save to file.
4. Repeats step 2,3 until you are done with features.

HTH.
