Pinned ideas

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 ...

Dual Purpose Placement Points as Snap Points

Allow option to label Terrain Contours using Lines/Linestrings to define path

We regularly need to deliver contour plans to the client based on Terrains that constantly change as a 3d design develops. It is currently very hard to produce consistent contour outputs because of the manual nature of how the annotation is applie...
