We restrict our skeleton models to surfaces only. no solid features. I'd like a config option that prevents solid features from being created in a skeleton model.
If I remember correctly, when skeleton models first came out you couldn't create solid geometry at all. I agree with Doug, an option for this is needed.
I'm constantly creating an extrude or revolve and then trying to add the resulting quilt to a publish geom then realizing (sometimes after lots of clicking and mumbling under my breath) that I forgot to click the surface icon.
