Is it possible to select the folds orientation when creating the Base Feature?
When I create a L-Shape or U-Shape as Base Features, it adds folds to the front/back when looking to the XZ-plane. Which is the initial focused plane (which is also the shortcut 1)
It would be better to have them initially on the left/right sides when looking at XZ-plane.
But a better alternative would be to allow the user to select the orientation while creating the Base Feature, what do you think?
This is the standard way the L-Shape/U-Shape are created
I would like to set it like this (not having to rotate the Body)
This is really a mater of user preference, and IMHO does not worth further complicating the GUI
I would use another item and with a dropdown list with 2 planes (XZ-Plane, YZ-Plane), and then this would be shown only one those 2 items. But keeping as it is is fine for me.
What about updating those to be done on the left/right looking to the XZ-Plane instead of front/back?
