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...

Surface - Sweep 2 long 2 with constrained profiles

I want to sweep 2 constrained profiles along either 1 or 2 paths. The end result is to be able to edit the constraint values and the 3d surface or solids updates. If I use Solid > Extrude along, it works, but with only 1 profile. If I try an...

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 ...

Parametric Solids - Level Management

We notice that the Input Elements of Parametric Solids, are assigned to the active level. However, when the final modeled Parametric Solid is assigned a new level, the Input Elements remain on the old level, and need to be manually selected and ch...

Dynamic Clip Volumes

Static clip volumes were a good addition in their day, but we desperately need to move forward and come up with a more dynamic option to clip a model, and be able to do this in a 3D volume rather than cutting 2D planes. See image as an example fro...

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 ...

Reality mesh send to back

Need option to place reality mesh as background and ignore depth so all lines are on top of mesh. This is needed for digitizing meshes as when vector is on same plane it may become invisible and sink into mesh. There is option in iTwins web viewer...

Crop surface tool

Add option to trim/cut surface tool to actually cut surface/shape and not create two surfaces by cut. Similar as region tool allows in 2D to keep intersection between two shapes but in 3D. Also keep shape elements as shape and don't convert to fan...

[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...
