Applies to: - All Verticals
New Feature / Problem:
New generic modeling tools... Masses and parametric objects are not enough...Nice to have them for parametric objects but it would be better to have a set of primitives like MAX... or a mesh generator with subobjects (vertices, edges, faces) that we can work with...
This way, the site tools will be improved, and the families will no longer be a dwg file inside Revit...
That said, import/export options should be really improved. I can't believe that we don't have the ability to use millions of free obj or 3ds files for our scenes... I really can't understand why dgn is so important and obj and 3ds aren't.
Why do you need this Feature / Why is it a Problem:
No need to descibe when and why we need site tools that work, or even generic modeling tools... It is obvious...
As for the import/export options, I guess we are all jealous of other modeling apps... that can use what ever exists over the Internet. We all know that Adesk wants to sell MAX too but this is not fair!!!
Workflow:
When I need site tools, I sometimes use topo surface combinded with floors and ramps but this is not what I really want and the result is not as good as it should... or as good as the client wants.
When I need generic modeling tools, I simply can't do what I want! I will have to use MAX or Moi3d and export to whatever possible and then insert the "dead" object in Revit... which of course remains "dead" because importing in Revit means to just place the object... can't do anything with it...
Benefits:
Better modeling tools and import/export tools means
1. Better results, better models
2. Less $$$ to spend for other apps...
3. More happy customers.
