Bring back Legacy Protrusion & Boss feature tools with Connect Parametric Modeling

The old protrusion tool was awesome for extruding profiles off solids but the new one doesn't offer a blind extrusion option to allow it's usage in this way. It seems to only work by extruding between or up topre-existing solids which severally limits its usefulness.

Also in V8i feature modeling we had a boss tool which was kinda like a inverted hole you could just add acylinder to a solid and quickly constrain it. I would love this boss tool to come back and support primitive shapes like, cone, cylinder, block etc. This would make adding simple features onto pre-existing solids easier.

    Hi Grant,

    This was implemented in Update 4 of MicroStation CONNECT. Is this sufficient enough or are you looking for further functionality?

    Regards,

    Wow i'm really sorry i missed this Regie I've played with the protrusion tool provided in CE and it does work i haven't had a chance to play with constraining it or testing constraints against the blind extruded face. I don't see a replacement for the Boss tool but i think that's okay if the protrusion works and your able to constrain against all the faces and edges it creates.
