Autodesk Civil 3D has a command "Maptrim" to Clip from a boundary. It is similar than Fence with Fence Mode= Clip but it also removes the entities outside the boundary and the new entities outside the boundary. The issue I see with Fence (Mode=Cli...

As mentioned elsewhere, Revit and ArchiCAD go through a process of reading from component libraries when a the main file is opened. Being more 'BIM oriented' from the ground up, most content in their models are component / objects so finding and l...

When a Model is inserted as a Cell, it would be good to include the Saved Views, which seem to saved to each Model. Since the Saved View includes Ref attachment and level info, the embedded SV could be used to expand and/or change the Cell's conte...

Working with nested References is not very easy and limited. Most of the power options you get with direct attachments are not available. Probably a lot of reasons for why this is. Nested refs have a reputation for slowing things down. Maybe it's ...

It would be useful if Mstn's Cell Library would also be able to attach iTwins. The Cell Library's attach iTwin tool would drill down into the imodel and list the Cells in that model. The Attach iTwins tool does not do this, so no duplication. Sinc...

Both tools should have a new parameter in its tool settings dialog. This new parameter would be a checkbox "Result attributes from active Attributes". If it is checked then it works as currently but if it is unchecked then it would workd as JOIN (...

The Cell Library dialog should be enhanced to highlight and filter for selected Cells. This would help provide users a focal point for editing and updating Cells. The Cell library could then function as a mustering point for follow on tasks like:-...

Auto Update Parametric Cells has been introduced in Mstn 17. As mentioned elsewhere this functionality would be good to extend to Graphic / Shared Cells. Looking at the blog entry, the AUPC tool triggers when a Cell library is attached. This is OK...

This idea was brought up in an FDOT training session. Has there been any thought given to adding item types to the match element attributes/change element attributes tools? So if one line/element has an item type attached, you could match that ele...
