Results:

The results of running Remove Cooling Circuit are as follows:

All selected faces are removed and the holes in the plate walls are closed as in the function Remove and Extend..
The cooling part is disconnected from its child parts. This means that editing the cooling part does not entail regenerating the plates.
Cut and Thread features that were created by cooling objects are also rerouted.
A Remove Cooling Circuit feature is created in the Feature Tree for every part involved.

Editing:

The Remove Cooling Circuit feature inside the parts can be edited when the part is activated.
Editing this feature enters the same editing session as the Remove & Extend tool.
