Hi everyone, I'm new to MOI 3D and I really really really love it!
Maybe because I'm in my 3 object, MAYBE I want to do more advanced things... but:

I'd like to accomplish something similar to a mill profile, something really small, like 1/3mm wide and 1mm deep...
...on a curved surface!

I continue to fail.... here are my attempts:



WORKED, BUT ON A BOX - make 2 profiles, project on box, make planar, extrude (1st doubt: wasn't MOI supposed to boolean subtract while extruding the face going inwards?) make boolean difference - Very long process

DIDNT WORK - the same attempt on a curved surface fails (make planar doesn't work)

WORKS, tedious - the 2 projected profiles cannot become a surface using any tool so I tried creating a VERY small rectangle, scale it 1 dimension (depth) and using LOFT. Again, very long and difficult, given the size of the profile


I really tried every combination of actions, almost all actions in the "Construct" menu, with no luck!

What is so easy in my mind (1mm depth profile on the surface) seems so difficult to achieve... why? What am I missing? I'm sure more experienced designers can figure it out right away, please help!!!

Another issue: often, I seem to create cured surfaced, but for my needs, I'd prefer having a depth, like 1mm. Easy way to add depth to a curved surface (let's consider the one I created as prototype).
