A couple of other CAD packages (Pro/E being one) advertise a capability called "Shrinkwrap" that I would like to see added to SolidDesigner. This function takes an assembly and simplifies it to just the outside surfaces. This would not only simplify the display of the assembly, but if you need to subtract the assembly from another part (like if you wanted to create the foam package for a product) you would not have to deal with all of the internal faces. Currently this takes days to do manually.
