Sections through an Island?
When doing an island with die walls is there a way to associate products to something to create sections or do you typically have to just manually create section planes and the likes to get the desired effect? I saw another post suggesting using extremelyHardware Material Wizard should be it's own spec group toolbar icon
I don't think I've ever wanted to create stuff for the CutParts Wizard or Edgeband Wizard. Since those two are shipped as "blank" wizards (I assume place-holders for future dev.) can we just have the Hardware Material Wizard be it's own icon/button?
