Tracking finished features on complex parts

Recommended Posts

Seeing as how I get just about every technique that has helped me advance in my programming career from this forum; I figured I might be able to add a little something to help others just starting out.

Besides utilizing levels, groups/subgroups, and view sheets to help keep my approach organized and traceable I started making a copy of my solid and then changing the color of the finished feature as I work through the part. 

Often times in more complex parts I'm not able to work simply from the top down and have to rough/ semi finish and then come back to finish before moving on to the next section. 

By modifying the surface color it makes it very easy to see what has been done and what still needs to be finished at a glance.

My apologies if this was mentioned before in an older post and I just missed it. 

Also, if anyone else has any techniques or tricks for tracking finished features that has helped them along the way please share. 

I hope you all are gearing up for a great memorial day weekend 👍🌭🍻
