PINNED Add measuring/pick distance tool in parametric solid and variables tools
As a MicroStation modelling user, I would like the capability of filling the Distance field by picking two points (or distance between other elements) from within the tool, so that I can be much quicker in creating solids and other elements where ...

Better concrete and rebar modeling/detailing (ProStructures)

ProStructures seems to be the abandoned by Bentley Devs. It is hard even to find a video training on Bentley Structural Detailing YouTube Channel, that is not from years ago. Maybe Openbuildings dev team could help evolve the software. The placing...

Improve "Create Complex Chain" and "Create Complex Shape".

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 (...

Reference Attachment Settings Variable allow DEFAULT LEVEL control

MS_REF_DEFAULTSETTINGS control most of the reference attachmetn settings. But not one that I find very important: reference default level (see image) This defines the level of the reference, it is very important when exporting to dwg. If it is not...

Consider adding an option for item types to the element attributes tools.

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...

Calibrate camera for photomatch

Need a additional tool to calibrate camera lens distortion from single photo. Like if we have photo taken with unknown camera then unwarp it by marking curves where there should be straight lines in reality.

Improve "Trim to intersection"

In the toolBox Modify there is the button "Trim to intersection" similar than FILLET in AutoCAD. I would like to see some new parameters in the tool settings dialog such as: checkbox (Join elements) Vertex= combobox (Sharp / Rounded/ Chamfered) as...

Remember Location in Level List after Pulling In Level From DGNLIB Level Library

When using the change element command and selecting a level from the loaded DGNLIB level library that has not been pulled into the active file, once clicking on an element, the level is pulled into the library, but the change element tool reverts ...

Add projective warp method

Microstation is missing projective warp method. For aerial data if it is slightly angled affine projection is not suitable as it allows only skew but doesn't allow trapezoid shape to fix perspective. Descartes are not an option as just simple warp...

Reference Files - Clip Boundary With Key-in, Macro, or Python

Allowing a quick way to clip reference file boundaries would greatly help with drawing production. At the moment the only way to clip a reference file boundary is by manually doing it, in every file. This proves to be extremely tedious and time co...
