I don't see an "Up to Surface" command in Extrude. Was this deleted? Is there a new way to do this?

    @Patrick_Wolber  - The terminology was changed to "Up to face" to more accurately reflect what the user needs to select - a face rather than a surface.  "Up to part" will accept a surface from the parts list in addition to a part.

    Re our terminology discussion on the other thread 
    https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/1850/is-there-a-split-face-feature-that-would-extend-all-the-connected-faces#latest :
    @abefeldman 's reply     seems to suggest the folk at Onshape have adopted the same convention as SW: a "Face" belongs to a solid body, whereas a "Surface" does not

    @abefeldman: I wonder if "Up to body" would better convey what is currently meant by "Up to part"?
    It is not at all obvious that a surface qualifies as a part, and I'm not sure that it's desirable to create that precedent.

    Which of these features will allow me to extrude up to a datum plane?

    I would appreciate simple approach even if it need few more words = up to face / plane - up to part / surface

    No memorizing, no guessing

    Einstein famously said "Everything should be made as simple as possible but not simpler" 

    I personally think @3dcad makes a valid point in this connection, on this occasion.


    It sometimes happens, when pursuing simplicity, that the appearance of simplicity is allowed to take precedence over actual, or overall, simplicity.

    We have seen this, I think, with the feature list, which borders on being impoverished (because of the info it fails to communicate) rather than simple.
