Civil Expression for offset side of component / mesh

We need an Expression that gets the offset of the center of a component in the 3D model. Currently it is getting the offset from the closest point in the component. When the component is away from the alignment, this is acceptable, but if the comp...

Trench Templates to automatically constrain themselves based on the pipe size

Trench templates are used on pipes for fill quantities. It would be useful if you could place a trench that would automatically assign parametric constraints based on the size and pipe thickness of the pipes. Also, shapes other than a circle are d...
