Thank you. It selects mesh now, but it doesn't rename the part. Adding regular solids in the same feature, renames these, but not the mesh
In addition, when switched to expression type and entered
"Test [" ~ #Length ~ "x" ~ #Hook ~ "]"P.S.
Something wrong with this forum. It would not allow me add any text in the text box so I had to "post it", now when I try edit my empty message it does same thing: I can't type anything.
@vanowm it works for me. Can you share a link to your document?

You probably already did this, but make sure you edit the properties of the mesh and clear all properties first. This way the custom feature can write to those properties. FS currently doesn't allow us to overwrite some properties so they have to be reset first.

You have to convert your lengths to a read-able and valid string "" format before naming a part.
Variable to String custom feature.
An easy way to do that is with the

Thank you! it now works on solids, but still not on mesh objects. (I've updated my sample)
