LIGHTWEIGHT HOLE

I believe this feature has mass, but not the geometry
itself. (Fast regen and accurate mass properties)
 
It will give you the location andcircumference of the hole. The feature would be usefull in regenerating a model that has a large number of patterned holes (reduces regen time). These types of features are not used in the calculation of mass properties (a part with a lightweight hole will have a different mass than the same part with the hole as a solid feature).
 
oops, my mistake.
