Add a feature

This explains how to add a feature.

Add a feature to a feature model

To add a feature to a feature model, use the AddNewFeature method of the IFeatureModel object. The destination is the end of the list, and the type is Mandatory.

public void AddNewFeature(ICommandContext c, ICommandParams p) 
{ 
IFeatureModel featureModel = c.App.Workspace.CurrentProject.ProductLineModel.FeatureModels.FirstOrDefault(); 

//Add a feature with the specified name 
featureModel.AddNewFeature("Preceding vehicle detection method"); 
} 

Add a feature as a child element to a feature

To add a feature as a child element to a feature, use the AddNewFeatureAt method of the IFeatureModel object. The destination is the end of the list. The following is an example of adding a feature named "millimeter wave radar" as a child element of "preceding vehicle detection method". The types of features that can be added are as follows.

Feature type name	Feature type
Mandatory
Optional
Select one	Alternative
Select one or more	Or

public void AddNewFeatureAt(ICommandContext c, ICommandParams p) 
{ 
IFeatureModel featureModel = c.App.Workspace.CurrentProject.ProductLineModel.FeatureModels.FirstOrDefault(); 
IFeature parentFeature = featureModel.GetFeature("preceding vehicle detection method"); 

featureModel.AddNewFeatureAt("millimeter wave radar", "Alternative", parentFeature); 
}
