Custom Feature: Friction fit (interference fit) quick sketch tool

I started adding a small ridge or notch in items that I need to fit together snugly but where I don't trust the tolerance of my printer. I found it tedious to manually sketch 2-4 small ridges to extrude up the side of every box, so I have created a feature studio that does this automatically, adding a sketch to the centre of every edge of a selected face.
I'm a hobbyist so I've written it with assistance but I've spent quite a lot of time checking everything works as it should and is easy to use.
I would quite like to upgrade it to allow extrusion of the sketches in the same tool, but I couldn't figure out how to get the extrusion menu as rich as the native extrude UI, so I figured I would just do it manually.
