Is there an easy way of adding or subtracting the same amount to every feature of a part?  Say you wanted to add .005" all around to a final part.  Any bosses would grow by .005", and any round holes would shrink in dia. by .005", while rectangular holes would loose .005" off of each face (for a total of .0010" between faces).

Basically I'm looking to see what the mass is for a theoretical maximum material size, and then for a least material size.

Some of the parts I would be interested in doing this on are fairly complex, with a varying honeycomb structure and a number of other features.

Thanks
