2. What version of Creo Parametric are you currently running?
7.0.4

3. Describe the problem you are trying to solve. Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.

While drawing surface design, we need to create simplified versions of surfaces, and then extend them.

Generaly we need to create a copy, and them Untrim to envelope, after there is a need to create an extended feature, for the edges.

What I propose, is make a feature that makes this diretcly.

see the NX way, that I think it's quite interesting.

Hello, 

Thank you for your idea and the information you provided. However, I would encourage you to provide details on the question #5. The more contextual info product managers have, the better.

5. What business value would your suggestion represent for your organization?

It's all about productivity, user experience, make CREO faster to use, and also be competitive as other CAD software like NX (presented in the shared video).

You will see, that enlarge surface will be a lot more easy, using this tool, compared to actual workflow.

We work for the molds industry, and I also vote for this improvement. There is no limitation currently, but this would speed-up the workflow, making users more productive, since most of the time we make an untrimmed copy of a surface, almost always we do it and then have to make another feature to enlarge the surface, using two features instead of one, and making Creo recalculate the boundaries of the surface twice, making the user and the system take more time to do the same work.
