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...

Use Active Attrributes for Create Solids, Surface, Mesh tools

Solid by Extrusion tool has a Use Active Attributes option. It would be good to provide this option for Thicken Surface Loft Solid Also Associative Extraction (already has levels etc) Unite, Subtract, Intersect Solids, Mesh Swept Surface along Cur...

Parametric Stretch

Parametric stretch would be very helpful in converting existing 3D models to parametric cells.

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...

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 ...

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 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 ...

[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...

Constraints: 2d Distance Alignment Options

Mstn's 2d Distance Constraint tool offers two Alignment options: True and Drawing. It would be great if the Drawing drop down option could be replaced by XY, XZ, YZ options. This would provide better control and remove uncertainty when generating ...

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...
