Applying Local Mesh Settings to a Part

Define multiple local mesh settings, each one with a label. Apply the local mesh settings to a root-level geometry or mesh part by referencing its label.

Note: This feature replaces the functionality where you could select a root-level geometry or mesh part, set the mesh scope to selection and only mesh the selected part using the specified mesh settings.
