Delete Face (Highlight Faces not Edges)

owen_sparks

Hi folks.  A real small one this time.

I feel the current highlighting of eneties on the delete face tool could be improved.

Example here where I'm deleting all faces making up the channel cut into the top of this part.

Now when using the tool the outline edge of each face is indicated.  This makes it very hard to spot the face I've missed here preventing the operation from completing.

If we exit the delete face tool and just select the same faces in the partstudio then OS highlights the actual faces.  Now we can clearly see what I've done wrong...


(Suggestion 1) I feel the 2nd view would be more appropriate for the delete face tool.

(Suggestion 2) The "5+" enteties selected notification on the mouse pointer feels like a bit of a half hearted attempt.  Sometimes this is fine, but in this case and many others it would be nice to know the exact number of eneteties selected.

Cheers, Owen S.

@owen_sparks I am going to place this in feedback since this is more of a preference but I agree there is more we can do here.

+1 for both suggestions.
The highlighting is the same as in the boolean feature :-(
