DESIGN TABLE CONFIGURED
Here are some things you might considering configuring:
Shape
Hex vs Round
This must be done through suppression state of an Extrude (or cut) that changes the overall shape. Not something advised to be a configurable feature, but useful to know
Base Size
Diameter/Distance Between Flats (Hex)
The parent-sketch of the main feature should have a controlling dimension that dictates this. Diameter of your circle (Or diameter of the Hex's inscribed circle)
Length
The length of the first extrude should be a configurable feature. This is very common, but be weary about adding too many configurations to a part. Beyond 25 becomes problematic over time. For this exercise, 4-6 should suffice.
Start with 1/2" increment upward from there
