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 ...
PINNED What happens after I submit an idea?
The Bentley Ideas Portals are intended to offer users the opportunity to share ideas more directly and conveniently with our product development teams for consideration. There is no longer a need to raise a technical support ticket in order to pro...

Python as a MicroStation Development Language

Occasionally, someone asks about using Python as a development tool. However, there's no obvious way in which Python per se could be used. An IEEE survey shows that Python is the most popular computer programming language (search for The IEEE Spec...

Parametric Cells should have the ability to take on Active Level Attributes when Placed

Hey all, This is basically a bump of an older topic but I feel it needs to be pushed. Parametric cells and active level attributes don't work well together. Other cell types will take on the active level attributes for the geometry within the cell...

Item Types: Add a way to make Item Type Properties invisible to the user

I would like to recommend an enhancement to item types to give a function that was available with TagSets.with TagSets you could create one tagset with all the tags you want. and then there is a display column to choose to display that tag in the ...

Copy-Paste Entire Rows/Columns in tables

Copy-Paste entire rows or columns of data just like you can in excel. It appears we can copy from excel and paste into tables this way but not copy from the table.

Support WMTS(Web Map Tile Service)

Add support not only for WMS but also WMTS background data. Some services offer only WMTS and not both. For users it is confusing as WMS for them is the same as WMTS. We need xWMTS.

Illustration with Shadows on Sheets

For shadow studies it would be very useful to display illustration mode with shadows on 2D sheets. Shadow studies often need to be documented as regular drawings with notes concerning time of day, location etc. Having this kind of reference attach...

Add option to Smartline for 3-point arc

I would like the Smartline tool to have an option for a 3-point arc. Currently, the only arc possible is an arc by center. This is a limited option, requiring us to know the center point or radius beforehand. It would be very helpful to be able to...

Multilines to follow a radius

Would be very convenient if multilines could be placed along curves. At the moment I have to manually build curved connections or add hundreds of manipulation points if a multiline needs to follow a curve as a workaround.

Copy feature to bring child features when modeling

Often times when modeling we create a feature like a hole this feature is then arrayed or "moved" as an associative copy. In the hierarchy of the parametric features applied the hole is now a child of the array of sorts. I would like to be able to...
