Hi Danny, well MoI uses the Solids++ data structures for things like curves and solids, so it's not possible to just "drop in" a replacement directly.

There is an analogue in Parasolid for all the same kind of stuff, but it's kind of like how 2 vehicles may each have a carburetor in them performing the same kind of function in each vehicle, but that doesn't mean you can just swap them around because they have various different connections and mountings, etc...

Similarly when MoI needs to do something like gather a list of all faces in a solid, there will be some way to do that in both Solids++ and Parasolid but it may be named slightly different, maybe puts them into some different kind of array type, stuff like that.

So there would be a fair amount of porting work involved to completely switch.


But a more localized switch just for one focused area, say like filleting and shelling, would be a lot more feasible I think.
