Query IFC Properties into Item Type Data

IT would be beneficial if you were able to assign item types to imported IFC models, and then apply Item Type information to these imported models and elements, where you can pull the original IFC properties in via query, at the moment we are unab...

Parametric Element Option to Move entire element to desired level

Moving a Parametric element to a new level doesn't move the underlying profiles and other features to that same level. This can result in the software appearing to show levels being used that do not appear to have anything on them. Very confusing ...

Variable based filters

‘Variable based filters’- we have filters available only for the Blend Radius, Hole Diameter and Face Area (Check attached example, where, when you change value of variable Filter_Hole_Dia_Limit and Filter_Blend_Rad_Limit to something greater than...

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 ...

Scale variable for nested cells in parametric cells

Add the ability to link the X,Y, and Z scale of a graphic cell to a variable so it could be controlled in a parametric scale. For complex elements (trees, meshes,...) that cannot be defined by standard constrains.This will be a massive competitive...

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 ...

To have parametric geometry be supported by 3D custom linestyles, as of right now any component that changes from it's default state/type will not save as a 3d linestyle.

Union of Parametric Features needs to allow option to maintain constraints

The union of parametric features tool in connect currently leaves a lot to be desired. If two fully constrained parametric solids are merged any constraints that existed between the solids are gone. Unless they were 2D some 2D constraints persist ...

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...
