Hello,
Thanks for the info pressure. Unfortunately the models I'm working with can be fairly heavy at the start as I begin defeaturing and stripping off the details to build them back up or organize them to pass along to others so they can do their work.
Session history on tools like lock and hide would be nice, I'm not in either camp when it comes to parametric vs. direct modeling, I think trying to force those two methods together is a mistake. There is a third option that can be built that really mimics how many humans learn to design physical products intuitively. I use version control systems, but having one designed into a product kind of squashes the debate on which method is "better". I'm doing it in MoI already, but it's manual and clunky. I like the idea of being able to take quick model snapshots and to save those onto layers while moving back and forth on those layers easily to see the structure and branches of the model tree. That way I can have milestones throughout the model and even copy branches off the model to send to others while preserving file compatibility for everyone. I don't care much about saving history outside the current session, that's what the snapshotting to layer is for.
Michael, thanks for the script for locking, it'll help me in process.
