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 difficult to model and constrain within the template dialog. Also, pipes are defined by their diameter, not the radius. It would be more user friendly to tie the circle component to a diameter. Currently the only option is radius.

We could get this to be automatic if there was some way for Parametric Constraints to be assigned to Item Types. We could pull the attribute from DU into an Item Type and the Parametric Constraint reads and adjusts the template accordingly.
