Hi Everyone,

Pretty impressed with my 1 day trial with MOI 3D so far - amazing software!

As I am interested in 'automated' design with least amount
of steps possible, wondering if it is possible to do the following
with a script or ; if someone can demonstrate the fastest manual way in moi3d...

Basics:
We want to create a passthrough hole in a solid surface with an offset
using the component that is passing through as the 'geometry'
reference. So, we create a pass through hole (with offset)
and position the fixing through/into the material; all in one go.

Example Components:
A: 1 x aluminum 'flat bar' created in Moi3D as a solid
example dimensions L:100mm W: 25.4mm Thickness: 12.7mm...
B. 1 x standard machine screw say: m6 x 30mm. Head dia. ~12mm

B1. 'Advanced' detail: screw head could also fit into a
counterbore or countersunk hole detail where head height approx ~3.7mm. If countersunk then the included angle might be 90degree.

Requirement/operation.
1. Screw fixing is placed through the flat bar/solid.
2. A 7mm thru hole is created for the screw; offset = 1mm allround or 0.5mm each side of the screw diameter.

3. Basically, an offset hole for the thread size is created and then ideally the screw head is one of 3 situations:

3.1 placed on surface of the flat bar [Example #1]
or
'ADVANCED' :
3.2 counter bored [#2]
or
3.3 counter sunk [#3]

Other notes:
4. The screw is not deleted when creating the 'hole geometry'
it is placed into the face of the material or into a basic countersunk or counterbore detail.

Look forward to hearing from anyone who can 'enlighten' or help with this!

Thanks

Stefano...
