Use Active Attrributes for Create Solids, Surface, Mesh tools

Solid by Extrusion tool has a Use Active Attributes option.


It would be good to provide this option for

  1. Thicken Surface

  2. Loft Solid

Also

  1. Associative Extraction (already has levels etc)

  2. Unite, Subtract, Intersect Solids, Mesh

  3. Swept Surface along Curves

  4. Loft Surface by Vertices

  5. Loft Rectangle to Circle

  6. Trim Surface

  7. Mesh by Element

  8. Mesh from Contours

  9. Mesh from Points

  10. Extrude Mesh Volume

  11. Thicken Mesh to Volume

  12. Mesh from Two Curves

And

  1. Extract Boundary

  2. Split Facet

Deriving Solids, Surfaces and Meshes often than not requires moving the new element to a new level etc. Not least to allow easier selection and snapping. The same input geometry is also often used to derive different elements that will need to have different levels and symbology.

This would also leverage the existing Construction Class functionality. Also, Elemen Templates which would be increasingly needed to add BIM and Parametric info to the elements.

Will also help make the 3d Modeling experience more consistent and usable.

Building the AA into the tools should also make any Batch processing, scripting easier.
