Best way to add Hafele Strip Lighting and Extrusion for reports and cut parts?
How would someone add hafele aluminum extrusion as a hardware part and have it actually be a cut part with product numbers and everything for reports? In addition to that, adding the LED tape would be helpful too. I am not too concerned with the 3D drawingRelease Notes Video for Foundation v23.0320
With every update release of the Foundation Library, it's hard to keep track of it all. We do publish written release notes for each update here, but sometimes a video can communicate things much more efficiently. If you are curious to learn more aboutSheet Goods Kit

Is there an easy way to make a part draw as one size but go to the CNC as a different size, without having to make multiple cutparts in a product? For example, we draw our scribe for submittals as whatever width the architect has specified so that when we redraw the elevation of it we don't have to constantly change the dimension. However, we send it to the CNC as no less than 3" because our CNC tends to have problems with parts smaller than 3". As another example, on our countertops that are wallBuyout Doors in Reports
