3D FENCE tool

Transfered from EAP Ideas listIt would be good to be able to place a fence as if you were placing a 3d slab, cylinder. Currently, the fence is placed 'in 2d' with the depth of the fence defined by the view's front/back clip planes. This often not ...

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...

Active angle @ X deg. warning

A fairly constant complaint among users is placing a bunch of cells and modeling forgetting that active angle was set to 0.5 degrees or something other then 0. If the active angle is 45, 15 or even 5 degrees it can be obvious that it's not 0. Howe...

Expand new Propagate Item Types to Mesh/Solid Creation & Manipulation tools

Many users regularly use the Mesh creation tools like Mesh from Element to convert elements like Shapes, Solids, etc. to mesh objects or Convert to Solid to do this with solids. Especially for BIM and Civil modeling workflows, one challenge is whe...

Rebuild the Step import/export

Importing and exporting step files in microstation is hit or miss at best. For best results we have to import step files into autocad save them to dwg and then import the dwg into microstation. We also have better results exporting to dwg and then...

Highlight used Variables "bold" Liken to used levels display

In the creation of parametric models I'm finding that some times I create variables that are not necessary or the need for their existence goes away. It's difficult to sort out which variables are actually being used and which variables are just f...

Draw/Imprint on Solid to Surface of Solid

I find it very confusing that when using the Draw/Imprint on Solid tool I have to constrain the profile of my imprint to the surface I'm trying to attach it tooin 3 axis. X &Y relative to profile normal makeI understand but I don't constrain Z...

Parametric Cells - Constraints for cell origin

Currently a cell can be placed by it's origin, however once placed it is fixed in it's location, and the origin point is not able to be updated with constraints. It would be great if we could constrain the origin to another element or apply parame...
