Hi,
@sladdals
If "catalog" is a resource without parent, I think you can remove it from its direct children URIs (category, category2, category3) by creating that rule :
- Pattern : [[+alias]]
- Constraint field : parent
- Constraint : *catalog_id*
- URI, Override, Active : Yes
And for other resources, generate default URIs :
- Pattern : [[+cu.parent_uri]]/[[+alias]]
- Constraint field :
- Constraint :
- URI, Override, Active : Yes
Else, you can define your own snippet to generate your custom urls :
- Pattern : [[your_snippet]]
- Constraint field :
- Constraint :
- URI, Override, Active : Yes
Besides, at the moment, you're right, the only way to set default URIs is to create a rule with [[+cu.parent_uri]]/[[+alias]].
But it's a good idea, I think I will add a button to clear custom URIs in next release.

It's the MODx default behavior. Aliases are made from resources pagetitle. It's more convenient for your customers who don't want specify aliases.
In
CustomURLs, if you use [[+alias]] in your pattern and set "Override" to "No", then aliases will not be overriden if they are specified :
- Pattern : [[+alias]]
- Constraint field :
- Constraint :
- URI : No
- Override : No
- Active : Yes
I hope my english isn't too bad to be understood.
