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 ...

Do not delete constraints automatically - rather show which one cause problems

If you are using parametric modelling sometimes you run into situations where MS gives you: "One or more constraint has been removed." in the message center.First of all: It just shows as a small warning in the message center. That is not enough. ...

fix dimensions so they do not lose association so easily

I get so tired of dimensioning a 3d drawing then find out I have to alter the model and the dimension associations are lost.I can understand if there is a modification along a vertex, but not if it's on a different face.There has to be a way to av...

Enable/Disable Feature with True/False Variable

I see the enable toggle under feature properties but it would be much more powerful if you could tie it to a variable and let a true/false variable define it's state. This would allow users to turn many features on or off based on a single variable.

Convert 3D mesh objects to 3D solids.

MicroStation should have Convert Mesh to Smooth Solid option. 3D meshes that completely enclose a volume, called watertight meshes, can be converted to 3D solids

Mirror/Rotate Feature "by points"

When using the rotate/mirror feature tools (and possibly others) the options list is about the: Design XYZ, View XYZ and Accudraw/ACS XYZ. Feels like all the classic and legacy mirror/rotate/revolve etc. all allow you to do so by points and you ca...

Clip model at face of element

In Tekla you can click the face of an element to clip a model. You can set multiple clip planes to very quickly clip a large model down to a smaller volume. This is far quicker than stuffing around with the silly handles particularly with large mo...

Add Height (Z) Offset for Array tools for 3D

Hello,For 3D modelling could the Array tools (both standard and parametric) be modified to include a Height (Z) offset value (Distance) to the existing the Row or Column inputs.I think this could be useful for creating stepped arrays with one oper...
