Prioritization of System Line Osnaps

Prioritization of System Line Osnaps

System Line snaps (system line ends, system line midpoints, intersection of system lines, perpendicular to system lines etc) should be prioritized/distinguished from other regular snaps. This would be a very necessary / simple to develop and huge improvement for accurate/fast 3D modeling. My suggestions would be as following:

  1. Give users an option to assign different colour/size for system line snap icons. Or Force system snaps to have bigger size.
  2. Prioritize system snaps, especially when snapping from bigger distance.
  3. Give users an option to work with system snaps only or without system snaps at all.

I would like to snap system line ends, system line midpoints, intersection of system lines, perpendicular to system lines etc. These "system snaps" must be filtered from regular snaps. ADV can only filter system line ends (Node Snap) from other "regular" end points. This is extremely useful for accurate 3D modelling, making modeling 3x faster in my experience. This also mostly eliminates need to workplanes(2D modeling is a waste of time imo). I will be highly disappointed if such feature is unavailable in ADV Steel.

Great idea Burak.

There should be an option or hotkey to stretch only along the system line of a member, when you stretch from a grip, rather than anywhere in the 3D.  


Hi,
I like that idea.

We will discuss it internally. 

Just one question: what would be the location of the "system line"?
I.e. a column is placed on the outer edge, a beam TOS. Do you still want to snap to the "center" of the shape, or to the insertion axis? What would you to prefer for angles?

I know if MicroStation you will get one point, but you can use your arrow keys to switch between all 9 possible edges.

What do you think?

Stretching only along a center line - right!

We will put it on the roadmap.

Hi,
Speaking of System Lines - can we have at least one of the two improvements:

1. System line to behave as an AutoCad object-if we manually change X, Y or Z in the AutoCad properties, system line to reflect the changes 

OR

2. Ordinates to be included in the Advance Steel properties, and we to modify them by manually entering new values:

Gernot,

This has been requested previously 08-14-2015 with over 50 votes back then. Please prioritize this request and the copy/move in the X, Y, Z planes (without going through dialog boxes {I believe the lisp routines are no longer supported by Autodesk, but still function to some degree}) request of a similar date.  The Basic modelling functions need to be enhanced for efficiency.  At the same time please look to stop the modifications moving when these items are stretched and the modifications have not been selected in the window and nor are at the end of the element/item (2018-09-26).   

Thanks.

Christian.
