Custom Feature: Frame Trim/Extend
I suspect this will get added to std at some point since it's a common feature to frame generators in other CAD packages like SW and Inventor, but while we wait, here's a quick and dirty upgrade to frame trim that allows frame profiles to be extended to faces if the face plane doesn't intersect the body. It's essentially a std copy of frame trim with an extra checkbox when doing a face trim "Extend profile". When checked it will attempt to extend the profile instead of trimming, again, if the face plane doesn't intersect.
It's probably not very efficient and there might be a few bugs, I welcome any feedback on how to improve it.
Enjoy! 😁

I like the idea, does not seem to work though. Though, that may be an issue w/ onshape.

Hi, could you please send me a link to your design. The screenshot by itself isn't showing what your problem is.

Awesome feature.
I'm not sure how easy or hard would be to implement a feature that could 'cut' multiple intersecting parts out of a frame. Sorry i'm new to this but I don't think there is a way currently to add a frame to the highlighted edge using a single frame feature?

I think the only way this could be done is if frame trim allowed for multiple faces to be selected, which currently it doesn't AFAIK. Seems like a useful feature to have though!
