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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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...

[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...

GLTF import

Import GLTF 3D format. glTF (derivative short form of Graphics Language Transmission Format or GL Transmission Format) is a standard file format for three-dimensional scenes and models. A glTF file uses one of two possible file extensions: .gltf (...

Pseudo - Parametric/Shared Cell Option

Parametric cells are great, shared cells are great using them in practice isn't so great.Parametric cells are stuck on the level, color, line weight and any other attribute associated with the "shared" cell within the file. So to save file space i...

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...
