Only the holes on a selected face need to be drilled. Is there a way to create a
Geometry Group that only has those holes without having to select them manually?

Solution
1. Run
Find Features in the
Machining Feature Navigator to select all the holes in the part.

2. While all the holes are highlighted press
MB3 -> Group Features.

3. On the
Group Features dialog set
Method -> Below Top Face and then select the desired face.

4. Further refine the search by selecting only the threaded holes from the
Feature Types menu and then press
Create Feature Groups.

5. The threaded hole group is created as seen in the
Operation Navigator Geometry View.
