Compound Slab - from Mesh Option

The new CS tool looks very limited in scope. It would be good to extend its viability by supporting meshes. Flooring is rarely level or flat when you look across a project. It would be good to have an option that is based on Mstn's Thicken tool th...

Assembly Builder - Constraints Support

Any Constraints applied to the Mstn elements seem to be stripped out when the Assembly is placed. Apparently, this is a 'voluntary' decision by the Mstn team. Item Types seem to make it through OK which is good. It would be good to bypass this 'vo...

Unify different parts in each drawing

It would be a good idea if in a drawing you could override part join configurations and create a new configuration for that drawing. For example, join all the walls, pillars, partitions, etc. in a floor plan or only join the walls of the same mate...

Reconstruct hidden wall joints

Problem: Two walls with different parts that unify each other (section and F/R view). A wall must be demolished. The other wall must be maintained. If we visualize the two walls, we see the current state. The two walls are shown joined. This is...

Piping connection: Add option for 2x 135deg elbow

In sewer installations 90deg elbows are avoided. Instead we use 2x 135deg. It would be nice to have such an option in the "Connect" interface. Also maybe in the "Plumbing Autofitting Preferences". It might look like a small detail, certainly in th...

Program Manager Notification

If we delete files from the Design folder (our workset) and these files were used in Program Manager for Design Options, we should have notification when we start OBD that there are no these files and existing Design Option was changed.

Penetrations: Apply Changes / Update Model - Object by Object

The current global 'all or nothing' updates are only useful 5% of the time. For the bulk of the updates a step by step update is required. No engineering team is going to be happy relying on the vendor's algo without the assurance of visual inspec...

Penetrations: Bulk Edit in Excel and Synch back to OBD

Penetrations are quite complicated and not easily defined by a few rules. The current selection of rules I think will be quickly overwhelmed. As such, I can see most people decoupling the Penetration objects from the PM as soon as possible, then e...

Models in VERIFY PARTS
