Parametric cell variables easily retrievable from item property expression

Current state is that if you want to retrieve value of a given variable (variable of a parametric cell) via expression in item property definition you can do it but in limited way. (item type is attached to the parametric cell afterwards in model ...

Adding Threads to Holes, Cylinders, Revolved Solids, Etc.

In previous versions of MicroStation (as it appears in the help files), there was once an option to "Add Threads" to a feature hole. This option seems to have been removed or depreciated in the CONNECT version. My suggestion is to add this option ...

Better parametric array options

Right now it is quite limited. Arraying objects along path especially should enable: -orientation lock to vertical or custom direction (for example: railing posts along 3d curves should remain vertical) -arraying along path should enable planar ro...

Do not delete constraints automatically - rather show which one cause problems

If you are using parametric modelling sometimes you run into situations where MS gives you: "One or more constraint has been removed." in the message center.First of all: It just shows as a small warning in the message center. That is not enough. ...

Enable/Disable Feature with True/False Variable

I see the enable toggle under feature properties but it would be much more powerful if you could tie it to a variable and let a true/false variable define it's state. This would allow users to turn many features on or off based on a single variable.

fix dimensions so they do not lose association so easily

I get so tired of dimensioning a 3d drawing then find out I have to alter the model and the dimension associations are lost.I can understand if there is a modification along a vertex, but not if it's on a different face.There has to be a way to av...

Extrude profiles along multiple paths in one move

I would like to be able to extrude a series of profiles along a series of paths in one move. Imagine you have defined the paths, added the profiles to the end of the profiles and in one move extrude them along the paths. Currently this is a per pa...

Mirror/Rotate Feature "by points"

When using the rotate/mirror feature tools (and possibly others) the options list is about the: Design XYZ, View XYZ and Accudraw/ACS XYZ. Feels like all the classic and legacy mirror/rotate/revolve etc. all allow you to do so by points and you ca...

Lock Z constraint works for 3-point view reorientation

I use the 'z' button toggle on the accudraw window to lock and unlock 'z' when working. The ACS Plane Snap toggle is 'OFF' most of the time. When I want to rotate a view using the 3-point method but keeping square to the existing view plane I have...

Convert 3D mesh objects to 3D solids.

MicroStation should have Convert Mesh to Smooth Solid option. 3D meshes that completely enclose a volume, called watertight meshes, can be converted to 3D solids
