Hi Michael G

Thanks for that clarification. I will keep it on hand so that I can refer to it from time to time as I digest the subtleties!

I can see now that a cube for example would only truly be "solid" if its data referenced every point on its surfaces AND also every point within the body of the cube!!

I can also see now that the distinction I was really grappling with was between polygon modelers and NURBS modelers. Very clear now. Thanks.

(The transformation from nurbs to polygon can be clearly witnessed of course, when Moi does an export to obj etc.)


And Michael T

Really good news that Moi models can so easily be imported into Alibre for 2d layouts etc.

I will start experimenting with switching stitching on and off and also adjusting import tolerances for igs and step files.
