So thx to workaround for Linux users with Nvidia cards last week I've been able to play with MoI... and enjoying it.
I'm especially impressed by Extrude tool. The ability to push/pull patches is awesome. Also it allows to make insets for buttons / various grooves etc easily. But...
Well, you need to slice the geometry beforehand. So to achieve something like this:
I need to create a couple of boxes first, then use those as trim object with keep option turned on, then select and delete them, then join those cutout patches and use Extrude on them. Not difficult , but a bit clunky.
So I've been wondering - can it be scripted/macroed somehow? Or maybe we could get (or is there) boolean stencil tool that would achieve such result?
With it making such insets would be a breeze.
