Perforaters - support for Profiles

Perforaters are great, but it would be good to extend support beyond 3d elements like solids to 2d elements like linestrings and shapes.

Lots of applications for general and..

    Hmmm... this will require the OBD dev team to mess with a platform tool. Initially, this will be the Solid by Extrusion Along Path tool. Is this really possible?

    Perforators as implemented at Platform level only works when part of a Parametric Cell. It will only re-perforate when the Cell is manipulated. What I am suggesting here is more like the negative solids or voids that other modelers have. This is a more general change to Mstn solids. Is it really possible for a vertical to do this?

    Hi Dominic,

    Thank you for the idea. This is something that OpenBuildings Designer may be able to incorporate. Please post your idea on the OBD Ideas Portal located here: https://openbuildings.ideas.aha.io/

    If the functionality is added to OBD MicroStation could inherit.
