Parametric Cells - Constraints for element visibility

Currently there are no methods to turn on/off the visibility of elements/nested cells contained within a cell via a boolean constraint. In many cases this would be a useful feature to have, to avoid having to recreate all the possible permutations...

[Parametric Modelling] Table view for Variables

It would be really nice to have a view option for the variables window when creating parametric cells.This way you could see more than one variable-set at a time and it would be much faster to edit the values.What I imagine: Parameter NameValueTyp...

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 ...

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...

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 ...

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. ...

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...

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.

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...

Clip model at face of element

In Tekla you can click the face of an element to clip a model. You can set multiple clip planes to very quickly clip a large model down to a smaller volume. This is far quicker than stuffing around with the silly handles particularly with large mo...
