What does the feature browser do?

The feature browser plays a crucial role in understanding the relationships among different features within a model. It specifically focuses on the hierarchical organization of features, displaying how features are interrelated as parent and child entities. This is particularly important in parametric modeling, where the geometric definitions and features are dependent on one another. By using the feature browser, you can easily navigate through the various features of a design, recognizing how changes to one feature may impact others, thus facilitating better design management and modifications.

This aspect of managing and viewing the relationships aids in systematic design approaches, allowing for efficient troubleshooting and refinements during the modeling process.
