This user is requesting functionality to identify Surface Bodies as Reference, improving feature selection, and numerous other tasks when working on complex models.
SPR 1127261 – Add the ability to create a solid body from a 3D sketch.
This user is requesting functionality to allow solid bodies to be created directly from complex 3D sketches.
SPR 628434 – Provide ability to set decimal place (precision) for mass , area , volume in Document Properties > Units window (units of measure unit)
This user is requesting additional functionality to set individual unit precision in Document Properties. For example, current functionality sets the Mass unit precision based on the Length precision.
