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...

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 ...

Save FBX export settings in seed file or variable

When exporting to FBX there are a couple of settings that can be altered such as invert X and Y. Changes to the default of these settings are not stored anywhere, and thus need to be set manually every session. it would be nice to have a variable ...

Level Manager/Level Display 2D/3D

Hello Bentley, This idea is for z new column in Level Manager/Level Display to allow filtering of 2D and 3D content from being displayed in the Views. This can be applied to 2D attachments, 2D drawings, 2D Content, 2D Rasters when we do not need t...

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 ...

The possibility to set referenced ACS priority

In Revit Reference plane Properties, you can set the reference plane priority by “Is Reference,” which can control how the reference plane acts when creating a family or after loading it in a project. For example, with a Strong reference, the refe...

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...
