Elements often get placed at the wrong Z value when working in 3D. It would be helpful to have a set Z value tool.This would Set the selected (fenced) elements to the defined elevation.In the case of 3D elements, the lowest part of the object woul...

Add 1 more plane to differentiate the area of the clip volume where to show hidden lines and an area after where the hidden lines are off. It is very common to show the hidden lines of the objects that are just a few meters (3-4 m) after the cutti...

Can we add an option to add a density to an element/solid so we can get its mass/weight. I know we can do this with Item Types but that will not allow us to report on itmass. We would need to export the model to excel and get excel to do the calcu...

We need something very simple and straightforward to create a simple terrain. Like Revit terrain design. Just add 3D points and break lines and convert it to Terrain Model (with export in Landxml). And don't tell me to buy Geopak Site for doing th...

Background Slope Works is a special part of geotechnical engineering. Unlike road work nor site formation, there are no common handy tools and we need to do some heavy custom line works to construct a targeted mesh and perform intersection with th...

Add ability to import LandXML also as mesh element. For example this tunnel from LandXML imports wrongley because Microstation interprets TIN only as Terrain without overhangs . This is not correct as TIN only means it is triangle mesh not that it...

inventor has a nice feature called work planes that can be visible. This plane determines the fix depth of your drawing. The tool allows you to create a plane offest, midplane between points

It would be nice if any distance values that can hold data had an option to measure the distance and input the value directly. For example the chamfer tool might provide a means to click a ruler (activate the normal linear measure tool) after meas...

The way clashes are highlighted in Mstn V8i and ABD is pretty rudimentary.The two elements are highlighted in red/blue, without any visual indication of where exactly the clash is. This forces the user to guess where it is, which is sub-optimal an...

The ESRI ASC file format is typically a gridded data model extracted from an ESRI database.Typically, the files contain millions of points. The two examples I have now (that I am trying to figure out how to import) contain 9 million and 16 million...
